[Pre-Chorus]
I'm putting your patience to the test
I'm 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
[Verse 1]
Sellin' your body to the street
Sending 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
[Chorus 1]
Waves turn to grey
Life in the shade
A violent crime
And that's the USA
Platinum's on the rise
Playboys in the sky
I'm just trying' to find
A mountain I can climb
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm putting your patience to the test
I'm 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
[Chorus 2]
Blondes turn to grey
Life in the shade
A violent crime
And that's the USA
p**n's on the rise
Psycho's in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find
A mountain I can climb
[Bridge]
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 anyone baby
Is anyone asking maybe
Can anyone hear me/this sh**?)
Why are you waiting beyond the door
[Chorus 3]
Life turns to dust
And rain turns to rust
Gossip is a truth
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
