Seventeen years in the city
Static clinging to the ceiling
Never did i think it would come to this
(outcome is different than i expected)
Never did i think it would come to this
(outcome is different than i expected)

Bright cops and cheerleaders
Eyebrows painted on their heads
A mouthfull of rotting cavities
Drinking coca-cola in the street

Never did i think it would come to this
(outcome is different than i expected)
Never did i think it would come to this
(outcome is different than i expected)

Shot in the leg
Shot in the leg
My leg is a bone
Nobody home
My hand is a wire
The skies are fire
The drums are beating
Pistols and jeans
Left for dead
Left for dead
Left for dead
Dead as a fly
