LYRICS

INTRO

{VERSE I}                                                 /
Do as I say, not as I do                                 /
Because the ****s so deep you can’t run away            /
I beg to differ on the contrary                        /
I agree with every word that you say                  /
Talk is cheap and lies are expensive                 /
My wallet’s fat and so is my head                   /
Hit-and-run, and then, then I’ll hit you again     /
Smart*** but I’m playing dumb                     /
                                                 /
Verse Riff x2                                   /
                                               /
Standards set and broken all the time         /
Control the chaos behind the gun             /
Call it as I see it even if                 /
I was born deaf blind and dumb             /
Losers winning big on the lottery         /
Rehab rejects, still sniffing glue       /
Constant reputation with myself         /
I’m a victim of catch 22               /
                                      /

{CHORUS}                           /
I have no belief                  /
But I believe I’m a              /
WALKING CONTRADICTION           /
And I have no right            /
                              /
