Lyrics:
[Verse 1] I'm putting your patience to the test I'm putting your body on the line, for less Didn't you know there was a choice? It's never yours but someone else's voice [Verse 2] Sellin' your body to the street Sending your girlfriends to the night, for cheap Wearing a jacket made of meat Sealing a letter made with horse's feet And now you've heard that [Chorus 1] Waves turn to grey Life in the shade A violent crime And that's the USA Platinum's on the rise Playboys in the sky I'm just tryin' to find A mountain I can climb [Verse 1] I'm putting your patience to the test I'm putting your body on the line, for less Didn't you know there was a choice? It's never yours but someone else's voice And now you've seen that [Chorus 2] Blondes turn to grey Life in the shade A violent crime And that's the USA Porn's on the rise Psychos in disguise I'm just tryin' to find A mountain I can climb [Bridge] Darling, ain't nobody gonna tell us They're gonna be oh so jealous We're gonna be oh so silent They're gonna be stoned in silence (I didn't want to ask you, baby) (I didn't want to have to) (Ask anybody, baby) (Is anyone asking maybe?) (Can anyone even hear me?) Why are you waiting beyond the door [Chorus 3] Life turns to dust And rain turns to rust Gossip is a truth And money pays for the lies we trust Your love is a surprise Homeless saints are in disguise I'm just tryin' to find A nice place for you and I
