Putting your patience to the test,
Putting your body on the line, for less.
Didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours but someone else's voice.
Selling your body to the streets,
Selling your girlfriend's to the night, for cheap.
Wearing a jacket made of meat,
Sealing a letter made with horse's feet.
And now you've heard that…
Waves turn to grey, life in the shade,
A violent crime and that's the USA.
Platinium's on the rise, playboys in disguise,
I'm just tryin' to find a mountain I can climb
Putting your patience to the test,
Putting your body on the line, for less.
Didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours but someone else's voice.
And know you see that…
Blondes turn to grey, life in the shade,
A violent crime and that's the USA.
Porn's on the rise, psycho's in disguise,
I'm just tryin' to find a mountain I can climb.
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. I didn't want to have to ask anybody baby,
Is anyone asking maybe? Can anyone even hear me, this shit?
Why are you waiting beyond the door?
Life turns to dust, and rain turns to rust,
And money pays for the lies we trust.
Your love is a surprise, homeless saints are in disguise,
I'm just tryin' to find a nice place for you and I.
