I was born in that summer when the sun didn't shine
I was given the name that doesn't feel like it's mine
Lived my life as the good boy I was told I should be
Prayed every night to a religion that was chosen for me
Sold my soul, broke my bones, tell me, what did I get?
Did my time, toed the line, ain't seen anything yet
Strike me down to the ground, you know I've seen it before
Make it hurt, I'll eat the dirt, I just don't care anymore
How could you break my heart? Already played my part
I kept my promise, man, show me the promiseland
Don't o*upy my throne, give me the crown I own
Lived like you told me how, look at me now
I've got no money in my pocket
And the whole world's bringing me down
And the whole world's bringing me down
One person's lie is just another man's truth
We kept on running from the devil, but the devil was you
Every time I see the light, I'm falling deeper in debt
If I've never seen the good, how can it come to an end?
Sold my soul, broke my bones, tell me, what did I get?
Did my time, toed the line, ain't seen anything yet
Strike me down to the ground, you know I've seen it before
Make it hurt, I'll eat the dirt, I just don't care anymore
How could you break my heart? Already played my part
I kept my promise, man, show me the promiseland
Don't o*upy my throne, give me the crown I own
Lived like you told me how, look at me now
I've got no money in my pocket
And the whole world's bringing me down
And the whole world's bringing me down
And the whole world's bringing me down
How could you break my heart? Already played my part
I kept my promise, man, show me the promiseland
Don't o*upy my throne, give me the crown I own
Lived like you told me how, look at me now
