lyrics
WOLF EYES
Get off the job, get in your car, run the first red light, got that ache up in your veins you're gonna fly tonight
Tame the way you feel and keep your grip on the wheel, stay sane when they tell you:
“You need to learn deal, just live and love”
And to cope you start to toke on another drug
Your friends fall all around you, on the floor is where they found you
The system getting into you from every single angle, you tried your best to fight it just as long as you were able; life don't take no prisoners, it's all or nothing and you got burned
Ignore the warning signs, they see 'em in your own mind
They'll say you're fine but everyone lies
"Give it to me, but I won't give shit to you"
This is the mantra of the wicked things they do
Want what you've got, not who you are inside
Never trust them, the hungry watching, with big wolf eyes
With these lyrics we'll depict a new familiar scene: you break your back each day work surviving on caffeine and how much of the paycheck do you see after the school loans, the state, and the war machine?
And you get home after a long one, light up and relax but they'll throw your ass in prison if they find an ounce of grass
They'll feed the demons in your head; put the gun in your hands, they want you dead
Ignore the warning signs, they’ll see ‘em in the clear skies; can't hide ‘em, no they'll find you tonight
Ignore the warning signs, they see 'em in your eyes, you say you're fine but everyone lies
"Give it to me, but I won't give shit to you"
This is the mantra of the wicked things they do
Want what you've got, not who you are inside
Never trust them, the hungry watching, with big wolf eyes
"Give it to me, but I won't give shit to you"
This is the mantra of the wicked things they do
Want what you've got, not who you are inside
Never trust them, the hungry watching, with big wolf eyes
