Dwellers of the Western World: III. The Black Man

歌詞

Settle down You know your father was a friend to me Never doubt I was invited by the family To swing a little from the fortune tree Selling out I must admit it's been good to me My paper planes Their destination was a tragedy But I'm no pilot; don't go blaming me If you were dealt the hand that I got You'd have cashed out before you got caught Gimme a break We get the PR to the people, right? I never pulled I never pulled a trigger in my life So don't go calling me no Mack the Knife If you were dealt the hand that I got You'd have cashed out before you got caught I'm no different from the rest of this town The statues move as soon as you turn around That's quite a fashionable disguise A winning suit, a matching tie But did you think it over? You didn't think it over? You redefined the compromise From the moment you arrived But did you think it over? You didn't think it over? And the deepest lies are the ones we don't even try to hide I gotta say I'm not suprised I always saw it in your eyes How could you fuck 'em over? Why did you fuck 'em over? Now it's over, now it's done How are you gonna tell your son That the game has ended That your hand is busted And the deepest lies are the ones we don't even try to hide Don't even try to hide it Don't even try to hide it
