Beneath - Anomie Belle

we’ve made our minds up

and there’s a price to pay

you can deceive everybody

but you’ve gotta lie in the bed that you make

oh, you buy yourself the privilege of authority

through which you tell us how to think

and show us what to be

without the slightest regard

for the psychopath you are

you’re not human

you’re a monster and a leech

oh, you say that you love me

where are the promises you made

where are our consciences these days

we bet our last good dollar on a dead horse

you can watch a total system failure from your front porch

can’t push me around

keepin' up that story with the same old line

even though you never justify

what you do but you keep us wanting

where are the promises you made

where are our consciences these days

we’ve made our minds up

and there’s a price to pay

you can deceive everybody

but you’ve gotta lie in the bed that you make

what do you take me for

everything that i wanted

everything that i need
