Better Off - Empty Handed lyrics

I need some answers I'm sick of the tension My subtle obsession With meeting the end Run for the fences You trying defenceless I'm calling off sets now That's just the way it is That's just the way it is I'm smelting your conscience It's your choice to look away But you picked your beliefs Seeing double (Seeing double) I could see you struggle By little take it all Never give away Heavy handed (Heavy handed) [?] demanded You cut the child loose And now he ran away They always run away I'm smelting your conscience It's your choice to look away But you picked your beliefs Keep your hand in your pockets Don't work if there is no pay Leave empty handed All that money [?] Little boys grow old on the outside Inside they rot until they're dead I'm your conscience It's your choice to look away You picked your beliefs Keep your hand in your pockets Don't work if there is no pay Leave empty handed
