Working man's day wage, just piss it away   Leaves it out in the weather      Failure, he said, times two breeds contempt   Wash your hands of it forever      Violence it ripped through the old dogwood fence   See the hope, see it unravel      Drunk brother said he could reason with them   While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied...   While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied...      The picture was left on the front porch, the back said   "I love you, don't you ever think of me?"      If my body goes, then to hell with my soul   We don't even know the difference      The dead folks in the clouds, for crying out loud   While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied...   While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied...      And why, did we live so long   So long   So long      (bridge)      The house is not the same since we left it that day   Old friends seem to wonder   Our parents had cigarettes, wedding bands   While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied...   While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied...      And why, did we live so long...   Long...   Long...      (bridge)      While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied...   While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied...   While they lied at night, they lied at night, while they lied...   Oh....
