Have Nots - Used To Be lyrics

You're gonna fix it from the inside sounds like just another way to say you couldn't cope A noose or just a pretty necktie, and I sit back and watch you choke Said you were gonna make a difference The only difference is you're on the other side I guess the gra** is really greener I guess that check was really worth your pride Cos I would rather work my fingers to the bone I swear that's all that keeps me sane And I will revel in the rubble while you catch the last outbound train You take the cake I take the pain Of watching as another one who used to be a punk gets brainwashed down the drain I saw you in an elevator, used to be a punk but now you work for city hall You read my clash shirt, said you saw them back in 83 but that doesn't make us the same at all You were gonna fix it from the inside its been a minute and the gears are still in place Cos some get buried in the landslide, but for some others thats just not the case Cos I would rather work my fingers to the bone I swear thats all that keeps me sane And I will revel in the rubble while you catch the last outbound train You take the cake I take the pain Of watching as another one who used to be a punk gets brainwashed down the drain I know sometimes it's hard to stick to your convictions Was it all just childish fiction You evicted and got over, and I'm not playing like I'm holier than thou That's a weight that I don't need on my shoulders But if it doesn't make you sick inside to see what you've become Then you never really meant it from the get go, son If you could see the you that I see when I see you telling me Just who the f*ck you think you used to be...
