Putting your patience to the test
(war in middle east has not ended yet, but keeps getting promised by President)
Putting your body on the line for less
(soldiers are putting their lives on the line for less money, budget cuts affecting military)
Didn't you know you had a choice
(the right to vote) (sarcastic)
It's never yours but someone else's voice
(electoral college is actually the group who casts votes in Presidential elections)
Selling your bodies to the street
Selling your girlfriends to the night for cheap
(prostitution on the rise in US)
Wearing a jacket made of meat
(leather jacket)
Sealing a letter made of horse's feet
(horse hooves are used to make glue)
And now you've heard that
Words turn to grey
(words become less meaningful)
Life in the shade
(easy lifestyle of most people in developed countries)
A violent clock
Non-stop USA
(Americans are always on the move, rushed for time)
Platinum's on the rise
(increasing value of precious metals, dollar losing value)
Playboys in disguise
I'm just trying to find a mountain I can climb
(Wanting to escape or get away from this society)
Life turns to dust and rain turns to rust
(Nothing lasts forever, decay is inevitable)
Gossip is the truth
(People believe everything they hear without questioning)
A little bit for the lie you told
(Tabloid magazines paying people for made up stories)
Long enough surprised, hopeless saints are in the stars
(Saint Jude is the Saint of hopeless cases...maybe this is a reference to the hopeless state of the world)
I'm just trying to find enough space for you and I.
