Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm puttin' your patience to the test
I'm puttin' your body on the line for less
And didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours, but there's someone else's voice
[Verse 2]
Sellin' your body to the street
Sendin' your girlfriend's to the night for cheap
Wearin' a jacket made of meat
Sealin' a letter made with horse's feet
[Verse 3]
And now you've heard that
Waves turn to grey, life in the shade
A violent crime and that's the USA
Platinum's on the rise, sleepin' in the sky
I'm just trying to find a mountain I can climb
[Verse 4]
I'm putting your patience to the test
I'm putting your body on the line for less
And didn't you know there was a choice?
And it's never yours, but someone else's voice
[Verse 5]
And now you've seen that
Blondes turn to grey, life in the shade
A violent crime and that's the USA
Porn's on the rise, psychos in disguise
I'm just trying to find a mountain I can climb
[Verse 6]
Darling, ain't nobody gonna tell us
They're gonna be, oh, so jealous
We're gonna be, oh, so silent
They're gonna be stoned in silence (I didn't want to ask you, baby)
They're gonna be kinda jealous
They're gonna be, oh, so jealous (I didn't want to have to)
They're gonna be, oh, so silent
They're gonna be stoned in silence (Can anybody tell me?)
They're gonna be kinda jealous (Is anyone asking maybe?)
They're gonna be, oh, so jealous (Can anyone even hear this shit?)
[Verse 7]
Alright
Why are you waiting beyond the door?
[Verse 8]
Life turns to dust and rain turns to rust
Gossip is a truth and money pays for the lies we trust
Your love is a surprise, homeless saints are in disguise
I'm just trying to find a nice place for you and I
