one foot on the gas, one foot in the grave

Singer:streetlight manifesto

it's in the air you breathe and it's also in the water

it's something you can't see

you've been warned of by your mothers

you've had enough deceit

you know enough to see

join the others

when you could hardly breathe

you were wondering why you bothered

and they gave us seven days to renounce our wicked ways

too late to make amends because we both know how this ends

so do the right thing or do nothing

or just do what is easier

that is what i read what i swear they said to me

nine times out of ten they lied to me

and after all they had the gall to say

son
