Leaves it out in the weather
Failure, he said, times two breeds contempt
Wash your hands of it forever
Violence it ripped through the old dogwood fence
See the hope, see it unravel
Drunk brother said he could reason with them
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie
The picture was left on the front porch, the back said
I love you, don't you ever think of me
If my body goes then to hell with my soul
We don't even know the difference
The dead folks in the clouds, for crying out loud
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie
And why, do we live so long
So long
So long
[Bridge:]
The house is not the same since we left it that day
Old friends seem to wonder
Our parents had cigarettes, wedding bands
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie
And why, do we live so long
So long
So long
[Bridge:]
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie
While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie
Oh...
The working man's day, we just piss it away Leaves it out in the weather Failure, he said, times two breeds contempt Wash your hands of it forever Violence it ripped through the old dogwood fence See the hope, see it unravel Drunk brother said he could reason with them While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie The picture was left on the front porch, the back said I love you, don't you ever think of me If my body goes then to hell with my soul We don't even know the difference The dead folks in the clouds, for crying out loud While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie And why, do we live so long So long So long [Bridge:] The house is not the same since we left it that day Old friends seem to wonder Our parents had cigarettes, wedding bands While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie And why, do we live so long So long So long [Bridge:] While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lie Oh...
