We put our lives in the hands 
of the ones that claimed 
They [bad word] [bad word] to find it's all just a lie 
And when we needed them
No one was there.

I swear I'm not bitter.
I just see them for what they are
Money 
Hungry 
Cowards
Sucking the blood out of artists 
And killing the art!
So count out the money 
You stole from starving artists
You watched pave the way, 
But you know just 
As well as I do, 
Without us
You're just an empty name!

Where were you when they had 
No faith in us?
Where were you 
When they shut us out?
It's funny you show up now 
And if it fell apart
I know that you'd be nowhere to be found.
We did this on our own.
Thanks for nothing!

The ones that kicked me 
When I was down 
Are the same ones that say they 
Need me now.
That's fine, 
I'll play the game but just know,
I told you so!
Hahahaha!

I've seen the greed in their eyes.
Well I guess I'm nothing 
But a dollar sign.
I've seen the greed in their eyes!
Well I guess I'm nothing 
But a dollar sign.

Four years gone by, 
Now everything is fine, 
No thanks to you.
You'll never know, 
Nor do you care about what it took or 
The things we've been through.

Where were you when they had 
No faith in us?
Where were you 
When they shut us out?
It's funny you show up now 
And if it fell apart
I know that you'd be nowhere to be found.
We did this on our own.
Thanks for nothing!

Ignorance had me by the throat 
From the day I learned how to sing, 
But now my eyes are open wide 
And this is what I see.

I see the greed 
In their eyes!
They had me fooled at first because
I believed 
All the lies.
Oh the lies!
I see the greed 
In their eyes.
They had us fooled at first
But we're taking control 
This time.
We're taking control this time!

Where were you when they had 
No faith in us?
Where were you 
When they shut us out?
It's funny you show up now 
And if it fell apart
I know that you'd be nowhere to be found.
We did this on our own.
Thanks for nothing!

So count your money 
And I'll count my friends.
We'll see who's richer 
In the end!
