The working man's day, we just piss it away
We sit out in the weather
"Familiar," he said, "time soon breeds contempt,"
Wash your hands of it forever
Violence, it ripped through the old dogwood fence
See the whole scene unravel
The drunk brother said he could reason with them
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While they lied
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 lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While 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 wander
Our parents' hands
Cigarettes, wedding bands
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While they lied
And why did we live so long?
Long
Long
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While they lied
While they lied at night, they lied at night
While they lied
