| Working man's day wage, just piss it away |
| Leaves it out in the weather |
| Familiar, 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, oh they lied |
| While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied |
| The picture was left on the front porch, well that's it |
| I love you, don't you ever think of me? |
| If my body hurts there's a 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, oh they lied |
| While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied |
| And why, did we live so long |
| long |
| long |
| 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, oh they lied |
| While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied |
| And why, did we live so long |
| So long |
| So long |
| While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied |
| While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied |
| While they lied at night, they lied at night, oh they lied |
| Oh.... |
