[Verse 1]
Too much money, not enough sense
Too little money, where's heaven sent? (Where's heaven sent?)
We're in dark times and to come
Lights going out for everyone
[Pre-Chorus]
And yet the question is put to us
Can't we make do on smiles and dust?
Treat 'em mean, don't be kind
Watch the carnage from the side
Fuck us over with tough love
Fuck us over with tough love
Fuck me over with tough love
[Chorus]
When you gonna draw the line?
All eyes on you, but you make it through untouched
When you gonna do what's right?
We'll be dead and gone (Dead and gone)
Saying we never satisfied
Always wanting more
It's hard times for all
When you gonna draw the line? (The line, the line)
[Post-Chorus]
When you gonna?
When-When you gonna?
The line
[Verse 2]
Too much time to not have learned anything
Too little time to burn
Think I've seen this episode before (Ooh)
Déjà vu's too strong to ignore
[Pre-Chorus]
And yet the question is put to us (To us, to us)
Can't we make do on smiles and dust? (Smiles and dust, ooh)
Treat 'em mean, don't be kind
Watch the carnage from the side
Fuck us over with tough love
Fuck us over with tough love
Fuck me over with tough love
[Chorus]
When you gonna draw the line?
All eyes on you, but you make it through untouched
When you gonna do what's right?
We'll be dead and gone (Dead and gone)
Saying we never satisfied
Always wanting more
It's hard times for all
When you gonna draw the line? (The line, the line)
When you gonna draw the line?
All eyes on you, but you make it through untouched
When you gonna do what's right?
We'll be dead and gone (Dead and gone)
Saying we never satisfied
Always wanting more
It's hard times for all
When you gonna draw the line? (The line, the line)
[Post-Chorus]
When you gonna?
When-When you gonna?
The line
