lyrics

LIFE MAY BE CRUEL, BUT AT LEAST IT ISN'T FAIR / ALL OF MY PAST SINS, WOULD LEAVE THIS SINNER SCARED / REPEAT THAT MANTRA TO YOURSELF AGAIN AND AGAIN / MIGHT START TO BELIEVE IT, / HELL IT MIGHT START TO MAKE SENSE / YOUR HIGH MINDED VALUES, / ALTRUISTIC SENSE OF FAIR / WON'T HELP WHEN IT'S REVEALED WHAT YOU'RE HIDING OVER THERE / LEAVE IT FOR TOMORROW, JUST FUCK OFF FOR TODAY / SELF DESTRUCT INTO OBLIVION, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY / BURN YOUR BRIDGES ONCE YOU CROSS / WELL IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE / BUT DON'T LOOK TO ME, I MAKE IT UP AS I GO / THROW CAUTION TO THE WIND, FOREVER RUE THIS DAY / WHEN ASKED WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT YOU'LL HAVE NOTHING MORE TO SAY / DON'T CALL THIS WISDOM, HELL IT'S BARELY ADVICE / 'CAUSE ALL OF US HAVE BEEN WRONG ONCE, TODAY I WAS TWICE / CALLING OUT YOU WANNABES, YOU DRUNKARDS, YOU ROWDIES / THE PHILISTINES, THE VAGABONDS, THE BUMPKINS AND THE TOWNIES / THEY'LL COME FOR YOU EVENTUALLY AS SURE AS THEY CAME FOR ME / SO REAP WHAT YOU SOW, AND TRY TO BE FREE / YOU'D SHOOT A MAN IN THE BACK / WELL IT'S THE SAFEST WAY TO BE SURE / BUT DON'T LOOK TO ME, I MAKE IT UP AS I GO / BURN YOUR BRIDGES ONCE YOU CROSS / WELL IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO BE SURE / BUT DON'T LOOK TO ME / I CAME TO THIS ON MY OWN / YOU'D SHOOT A MAN IN THE BACK / WELL IT'S THE SAFEST WAY TO BE SURE / BUT DON'T LOOK TO ME, I MAKE IT UP AS I GO / YOU'D SHOOT A MAN IN THE BACK
