Convict

I'm a convict in a madhouse blues

Trying to live by the silver rule

I don't understand a word about

Pension plans or saving accounts

It's weekends and the nightlife tunes

Dying lust in the smoking rooms

They take whatever they make

Heart fails or Jesus saves

Now was it all I ever wanted too

All I ever wanted too

Flick through for a better view

Screens get bigger for smaller news

I'd like to love but it's a teenage dream

And all the Biebers turn into junkies at nineteen

Suits, ties and lies for good

Black-eyed wives drinking Jack at noon

Don't you miss your one last chance

To lose everything for the dance

Now was it all you ever wanted too

All you ever wanted too

Now was it all we ever wanted too

All we ever wanted too

Oh everybody's waiting for something

But who's crawlin' to the right way

Oh everybody's waiting for something

Hiding from the devil in the morning
