[Verse 1]
80's people dancing, oooh
Always get it right
I'd listen but I can't tonight
I can't tonight, I can't tonight
Well there's something that you do to get it right
End up reviled for it
Yeah that's the thanks I get
[Chorus]
I don't understand
Your fucked up system, this sinister city
Try to sell the water
Try to sell the air
Try to sell your daughter
Try to sell her hair
Verse!
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
'We all want to watch the fight, is it on Sunday?'
Hide in a hole with a gun in your hand
In front of
Someone you want dead I guess
Hiding in your suit
[Verse 3]
I did not know that
Their bringing me back to my past
I got my head in my hands
I got my head in my—
I got my head in my hands
I got my head in my—
I got my head — it's just something that you do to get it right
End up reviled for it
Yeah that's the thanks I get
[Chorus]
Jail, that's what you get
Stepping to the system
Profiting from war
Fighting as the victim
Always wanting more
Trying to trick your brothers
Get them to fight it for you
[Bridge]
I can not believe my eyes
Darling I can tell you lies
Coast to coast L.A. to Chicago
I don't know geography all that well
[Outro]
Defying western logic
Even if it shows you're wrong
I guess that's a classic
Been with us all along
