In the real world All that gold All that silver prove Is that the powerful own the truth With their Heckle and Jeckyll smiles Down to nickels and dimes The lawyers will sue What those bastards won't do But sometimes with you I can leave this place And fall into your sky And sometimes with you I can lose myself Without an alibi Salvation and clues I get from you And I shoot out the lights In a room with a view Bought and paid for With the price of my tears Na na na na na na na yeah On the TV There's a sitcom about success About winning and nothing less Little Caesars with suits and ties With their dollar sign eyes Canned laughter and lies They're everything I despise But sometimes with you I can fall into your sky And I can fade And sometimes with you I can leave myself And join in your parade Salvation and clues Are the things I want The things I get from you Sometimes I withdraw With the echo of you Inside of myself To a room with a view ItįŽ bought and paid for With the price of my tears So I lay down my heart When I lay down with you In a world of possessions You're my only clue Why I stay here When the price is my tears Na na na na na na na yeah The price of my tears Yeah Everything comes clear The price of my tears Year after year Yeah The price of my tears Na na na na na na The price of my tears
