"The Terrible Truth" comes from the new 6 song E.P. "Surveillance" out 1/17/12!
lyrics
Down in the fields out where i lie
Free of hassle, free of passers-by
i feel alone, yet so alive
i feel at home out of the public eye.
we're living in the age of industry
of radio waves and frequencies.
we feed the rich and we kill the poor
get in our way and we'll start a war.
We're not the voice of a generation
We are the voice of your imagination.
If you're anything like me
You just want to live and die in peace.
i never asked for this, oh no no no
but i accept the task i've been given.
i'll light your way through melody
because the terrible truth is that crime does pay.
Down in the fields where i used to play
From the crack of dawn until the sun escaped.
I never thought about such trivial things
Like where my soul would stand come judgment day.
in half a century, we've changed more than we can perceive
we've killed the american dream and we don't even notice.
We don't even care.
We're not the voice of a generation
We are the voice of your imagination.
If you're anything like me
You just want to live and die in peace.
i never asked for this, oh no no no
but i accept the task i've been given.
i'll light your way through melody
because the terrible truth is that crime does pay.
Get out of the dark, and get into the light x4
We're not the voice of a generation
We are the voice of your imagination.
If you're anything like me
You just want to live and die in peace.
i never asked for this, oh no no no
but i accept the task i've been given.
i'll light your way through melody
because the terrible truth, oh the terrible truth
The terrible truth, the terrible truth
is crime does pay
we're all from where we don't belong
and the terrible truth, the terrible truth about the world
is crime does pay
