Verse 1

Cigarette fingers ember stain

Incriminating notes on a paper chain

Did you ever get the

feeling that you've been cheated?

I wanna bust out

I've not been defeated

We're all strong bones they hold no water

Got the whiplash smile this gets harder

Time has wound down and now we've been cached

Because half measures are all half-assed and

how did we ever end up this way

and I don't know I'm in disarray

Cultivating my ignorance--

didn't we have some standards once?

I hate you and your cowboy boots

though we wanted clever we settled for stupid

Do it always so indiscreet

like a bad boyfriend he's a dirty little cheat

Refrain

It's a shallow vicious state of mind

like an angry child getting dumped online

And give me back my photos will you

---- x4

you fucking whore I'll kill you!

Chorus 1

(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word

(Don't believe) Just keep on breathing

(Don't believe) cause pretty soon that

good King George will wake up screaming

Verse 2

Our soundtrack is a soul less thing

some dull ache replace the sting

Rap stars brag about shooting each other?

Whatever happened to "brother brother"?

We like thugs when they attack and

We like crime when it's black-on-black and

Isn't this you, cruel-hearted fake?

And isn't this more than you can take?

Chorus 2

(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word

(Don't believe) Just walk on by

(Don't believe it) cause this moment

will pass and then we

can all get high yeah

(Don't believe it) Don't believe it

(Don't believe) Just keep on breathing

(Don't believe) cause pretty soon that

good King George will wake up screaming

Bridge

Wake up screaming Ha ha

Wake up screaming

Yeahhh! x4

Verse 3

Round up all the big lynch pins

Hope we don't get fooled again!

All sensation makes no sense

you got some insane confidence

I can't find myself I can't change the station

in this corporate sell-out hillbilly nation

Scandalize now with such ease

America give me back my keys

Sand it blows a soldier squeeze

trigger on fake enemies

we're all abroad and all alone

till you come home bring them home

Chorus 3

(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word

(Don't believe) Just keep on breathing

(Don't believe) cause pretty soon that

good King George will wake up screaming

don't believe a word

don't believe a word no!

don't believe a word

(hold)x6

don't believe a word
