Mojave, Mo' Problems

It's not as simple as you'd think to understand what we've been through
The things that we do
Just to spread a little pleasure to you
And I just think it's funny that these dirty throats
Muddy lungs
And revenge they cough up
Make for the prettiest words in all the catchiest songs
So up the bitter bass line
It's solid gold
The sound of broken hearts makes for beautiful tone
I'll keep on trying to have some faith that I'll succeed
But if I was being honest baby
This certainty that I feel's not worth a thing
Stones
You say you got 'em but
No, I don't think so
Stones
You say you got 'em but
No, I don't think so
Bones
Show me what you're made of
No, I don't think so
Stones
You say you got 'em but
No, I don't think so
Would you beat on a carcass for new, original sounds
Or are you down to whore out the latest fad that's in town?
Well, the truth is hiding when there's a silence recited
Which is why it's always “no comment”
For nearly every enquiry
But what good is a button if you get punished to touch it?
What good is a stand up guy if ya'll just sitting down beside him
Well, I'm not convinced that independence is a crime
Cause you're never gonna live unless you're crossing someone's line
Come on
If it hurts this much to sing the blues
You have a long and healthy life ahead of you
The certainty that you feel within is not worth a damn thing
If it hurts this much to tell the truth
You have a long and healthy life ahead of you
