American Way

In this American Day
Life’s lived too fast
You never care
You don't even ask

But it's my life too
and It's not just you
It's always sitting here
With nothing to do
This commercialism bullshit
And my shinny new shoes
Donna Karen, Tommy and J Crew

It's anorexic models with double d tits
Lines of coke and Acid hits
Turbo Charged cars
Outside the strip bars
How these possessions
Define who we are

Our American Way
Lives lived too fast
We don't really care
We don't ever ask

No use in denying
The man on the screen
He couldn't be lying
No, Not on TV

Yet People are crying
In far away lands
Children are dying
With our indifferent demands
Yeah, they're easily forgotten
Because they're easily lost
Just like Americans
To never question the cost


Pistol Whipped

You don't know it when you hurt me
I don't think you even care
You're just my fucking morphine
You numb the pain but it's still there

Now I'm pulled in close to you
I guess it's karma at tenfold
I should learn to learn my lesson
You glitter but you're not gold

I try to run away from you
but there's no use to run
in the end my mind's a trigger
and you're the fucking gun

Can't hide from the confusion
I don't know why I have to try
There's no hope of perfect endings
When you love to make me cry

I can't stand to say I'm helpless
'Cause I know that that's not true
i'm never quite so hopeless
untill it comes to you

I try to run away from you
and there's no use to run
in the end my mind's a trigger
and you're the fucking gun

There is no point in hiding
It's only truth you know I know
You're the same old wretched person
So, why can't you let it show?

My mind is like a trigger
and you will be my gun
there is no use in hiding
but i can never seem to run
