Good Luck With Your Lives Lyrics

I've looked you right in the face
And I have told the worst lies
I've put my arms around you
And felt nothing at all
I've stolen tasteless bread
I've assaulted hundreds of cities, paint them red
I've taken a thousand miles and
I'll take a thousand more until you say

You can't bully me
You can't make me stay
You won't change
I hear your whispers calling me
I will turn away (turn away)
Just like a hunter you will prey
Prey on me

And the world will let you hang
I just made a pact with them
To always drop you where you land
I'll fight for my way and
I'll say that I've changed and
I'll try to convince you, you should stay
Where ever you go, I'll be here
Making sure you fail

You can't bully me
You can't make me stay
You won't change
I hear your whispers calling me
I will turn away (turn away)
Just like a hunter you will prey
Prey on me (prey on me, prey on me, prey)

These seven years have opened my eyes
But I don't want to live it all again

You can't bully me
You can't make me stay
You'll never change
I hear your whispers calling me
I will turn away (I will turn away)
Just like a hunter you will prey
Prey on me

Unfaithful, I have been
Loyalty, I have none
No respect, no passion
Unmotivating

Few small corrections from the book -

I've looked you right in the face and I have told the worst lies. I've put my arms around you and felt nothing at all. I've stolen tasteless bread, I've assaulted hundreds of cities, paint them red. I've taken a thousand miles, and I'll take a thousand more until you say:

"You can't bully me, you can't make me stay, you won't change. I hear your whispers calling me, I will turn away. Just like a hunter you will prey, prey on me."

And the world will let you hang. I just made a pact with them to always drop you where you land. I'll fight for my way, and I'll say that I've changed, I'll try to convince you you should stay. Wherever you go I'll be there, making sure you fail.

"You can't bully me, you can't make me stay, you won't change. I hear your whispers calling me, I will turn away. Just like a hunter you will prey, prey on me. These 7 years have opened my eyes, but I don't want to live it all again."

"Ungrateful", I have been. "Loyalty", I have none. "No respect", "no passion", "Unmotivating".

I LOVE this song. It is definitely my new favorite. My husband and I are going through a rough time right now and this song is so similar to a lot of my feelings it is almost creepy! Love, love, love it!!

This song really does seem to be about their old record label. The titles says "liveS" with an "s".

It also says "7 years" which would make sense.

I'm sure there are other things here as well.

Shane: "This is one of those songs that just starts with an awesome guitar riff and goes from there. Neil [Boshart, guitar] was noodling around at practice, played something and right away I was like, “Dude, that is awesome!” Next thing I know, after a couple hours, we had all the music finished. Writing vocals over that riff was hard, because I wanted the guitar part to sing on its own and not have the vocals get in its way, or vice versa. I remember when we recorded the original demo for this, we had a huge argument for an hour over a single note at the end. We couldn't agree on which note should go over one of the harmonies. Looking back, it was so silly, but we definitely are perfectionists even with things no one would probably ever notice."

And they both said that it was about their past experiences in the music industry --> with their previous label.
