We put our lives in the hands of the ones that claimed they truly cared.
|
Come to find it's all just a lie and when we needed them no one was there.
|
|
I swear I'm not bitter. I just see them for what they are;
|
Money hungry cowards sucking the blood out of artists and killing the art!
|
So count out the money you stole from starving artists you watched pave the way,
|
But you know just as well as I do, without us you're just an empty name!
|
|
Where were you when they had no faith in us?
|
Where were you when they shut us out?
|
It's funny you show up now
|
And if it fell apart I know that you'd be nowhere to be found.
|
We did this on our own.
|
Thanks for nothing!
|
|
The ones that kicked me when I was down
|
Are the same ones that say they need me now.
|
That's fine, I'll play the game but just know,
|
I told you so!
|
|
I've seen the greed in their eyes
|
Well I guess I'm nothing but a dollar sign.
|
I've seen the greed in their eyes
|
Well I guess I'm nothing but a dollar sign.
|
|
Four years gone by, now everything is fine, no thanks to you.
|
You'll never know, nor do you care about what it took or the things we've been through.
|
|
Where were you when they had no faith in us?
|
Where were you when they shut us out?
|
It's funny you show up now
|
And if it fell apart I know that you'd be nowhere to be found.
|
We did this on our own.
|
Thanks for nothing!
|
|
Ignorance had me by the throat
|
From the day I learned how to sing,
|
But now my eyes are open wide
|
And this is what I see.
|
|
I see the greed in their eyes!
|
They had me fooled at first because I believed all the lies.
|
Oh the lies!
|
I see the greed in their eyes!
|
They had us fooled at first but we're taking control this time.
|
We're taking control this time!
|
|
Where were you when they had no faith in us?
|
Where were you when they shut us out?
|
|
It's funny you show up now
|
And if it fell apart I know that you'd be nowhere to be found.
|
We did this on our own.
|
Thanks for nothing!
|
So count your money and I'll count my friends.
|
We'll see who's richer in the end!
