lyrics

Verse:
The more you know the less that they can take from you
The more they say the less you can believe is true
If it were free they wouldn’t even know your name
Hard to believe that anything is gonna change

Congratulations take your bow
Your time is up and I’m sure you’re proud
But your soul’s on sale and it’s mine for the taking
You’re unaware of the hearts you’ll be breaking
We're making moves where I’m taking you
We're taking drugs and booze we're on the loose the only thing I’ll say to you
Just sign the paper and I swear to make sure
All your dreams come true

Chorus:
So now it’s time for the story to be told
It’s sad to see how easily you can be bought or sold
Prepare to lose your sanity
They will ignore you’re nothing more than just a commodity

Verse:
The less you sell the more they will forget to care
The less they make the more you will become aware
Where are the days when music used to feed my soul
Now all it does is fill up someone’s bank roll

Just take my word the rumors aren’t true
The gifts I have to give outweigh what I will take from you
A simple handshake decides your claim to fame
The dotted-line must now define who will know your name

Bridge:
Now it’s time to turn the lights out
Now it’s time to take the knife out
Cut the strings or you’ll never get a thing
Do what they say or you’ll never get paid
