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

They're all straw bowls they hold no water
Got the big fast smile, this gets harder
Time wound down and we've been cashed
Because half measures are all half-assed

How did we ever end up this way?
And I've gone numb in disarray
Cultivating my ignorance
Didn't we have some standards once?

I hate you and your cowboy boots
You wanted clever, we settled for stupid
You threw it all away so indiscreet
Like a bad boyfriend he's a dirty little cheat

It's a shallow vicious state of mind
Like an angry chump getting dumped online
Give me back my photos, will you?
You [bad word] [bad word] I'll kill you!

Don't believe a word
Just keep on breathing
'Cause pretty soon that good King George
Will wake up screamin'

Our soundtrack is the soulless thing
Some dull ache-replace the stain
Rap stars brag about shooting each other?
What ever 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, [bad word] hearted fake?
Isn't this more than you can take?

Don't believe a word
Just walk on by
'Cause this moment will pass
And then we all can all get high
Don't believe it
Just keep on breathing
Oh pretty soon that good King George
Will wake up screamin'

Wake up screamin'
(hahahaha)
Wake up screamin'
(ahhhhhh)

YEAAAAAHHHH!!!!, (YEAAAAAHHHH!!!!) X4

Round up all the big linchpins
I 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 sellout hillbilly nation
Scandalize now with such ease
America give me back my keys

Senate blows a soldier squeeze,
Trigger on fake enemies
We're all abroad and all alone, 'til [bad word] home
Bring 'em home!

Don't believe a word
Just keep on breathing
'Cause pretty soon that good King George
Will wake up screamin'

(Don't believe it)
Don't believe a word
(Keep on dreaming)
Don't believe a word
(Don't believe it)
Don't believe a word
(Don't believe it)
Don't believe a word
