|
The skilful calculation |
|
Of everything you need |
|
The sly manipulation |
|
Well, that's all, money and greed |
|
Won't help you succeed |
|
They pay you when you're winning |
|
They pay you if you lose |
|
And that just keeps you grinning |
|
Ear to ear, you don't refuse |
|
It keeps you amused |
|
Didn't like you anyway |
|
There's no truth in what you say |
|
Never dealt in honesty |
|
Always reading prophecy |
|
And you'd get it anyway |
|
As we crawl in disarray |
|
And your smile just isn't right |
|
As you take another bite |
|
I hear you call that dealing |
|
That's not the word I'd use |
|
'Cause some might call it stealing |
|
No pretence, that's just abuse |
|
Whatever you choose |
|
Now I can tell your fortune |
|
The way it's going to end |
|
You're staring at the full moon |
|
In the dark, your only friend |
|
Too late to pretend |
|
Didn't like you anyway |
|
There's no truth in what you say |
|
Never dealt in honesty |
|
Always reading prophecy |
|
And you'd get it anyway |
|
As we crawl in disarray |
|
And your smile just isn't right |
|
As you take another bite |
|
Didn't even look away |
|
When they placed a dead bouquet |
|
On the grave of charity |
|
With a veil of apathy |
|
And it echoes day by day |
|
As the reasons blow away |
|
And your hands grow very white |
|
As you take another bite |
|
Well, you're no better than a hungry dog, that's biting |
|
And you're the one who's always after more |
|
Well, you're no better than a thief at night, that's frightening |
|
You know the devil is your friend for sure |
|
Didn't like you anyway |
|
There's no truth in what you say |
|
Never dealt in honesty |
|
Always reading prophecy |
|
And you'd get it anyway |
|
As we crawl in disarray |
|
And your smile just isn't right |
|
As you take another bite |
|
Didn't even look away |
|
When they placed a dead bouquet |
|
On the grave of charity |
|
With a veil of apathy |
|
And it echoes day by day |
|
As the reasons blow away |
|
And your hands grow very white |
|
As you take another bite |
