These Colours Don’t Run

[Intro: Sam Carter]
These streets aren't paved with gold
Don't believe everything that you're told
Deception hides in all you see
Corruption hangs in the air that you breathe

[Verse: Sam Carter]
And in the land of the free
You know nothing comes for free
Fourth drive in paradise
Vapid souls check the market price
Lifetime slave living in a suburban grave
If there was a God, was a God
You would be the death of him

[Chorus: Sam Carter]
These colours don't run
Like colour from the face
Eyes roll back, chemical despair
It's true what they say, life isn't fair

[Post-Chorus: Sam Carter]
So repeat this line, "Everything, everything is fine"
So repeat this line, "Everything, everything is fine"
Blegh

[Chorus: Sam Carter]
These colours don't run
Like colour from the face
Eyes roll back, chemical despair
It's true what they say, life isn't fair

[Verse: Sam Carter]
And in the land of the free
You know nothing comes for free

[Bridge: Sam Carter]
I'm strugglin' to find any poetry in this
Someone beat me to the line "Ignorance is bliss"
So I guess I'll just say it how it is
You had it all, you fucking pigs
Oh

[Outro: Sam Carter, Sam Carter & Jon Green]
These streets aren't paved with gold
Don't believe everything that you're told
Deception hides in all you see
Corruption hangs in the air you breathe
