The Velvet Teen - You Were the First lyrics

I wanted out, so i escaped You cannot build until you learn to break When time will tell What will it say? 'i am not money' Or maybe, 'wait' You were the first, like the one before you You got it worse Well, i don't got it, it due You lost the thirst and drank, but i grew 'i break the curse' You say, but i do I want the pills and the bottle and the excess I want the bill and the model that collects it I want the thrill and the throttle and the lexus I want it all Pay none of the taxes All of the greats are bested one day They sigh, 'auf wiedersehen' Sometimes i feel i'm better off doin' the same Until the day we pull back that veil At least pull back on the reins I've seen the film and i fall asleep at the end The end We will not bend We will not sway Until you say 'i'm at your mercy'
