Fool's Gold Lyrics - Singles - The Honor System

It's been one thousand days since I last saw you breathe 

Incarcerated by the routines etched into the concrete 

We all fell down now we just hop around 

Drop hints for me to grow up 

I beg you not to join up 

Mister can you spell success 

Pay your rent 

Pay your debt 

The point that's been so overstressed 

You're making more and caring less 

I've thrown away their recycled lies 

They've got those transparent eyes 

Your script's been changed, it's not accepted here 

Now they'll rewrite it 

Then you'll recite it 

They'll sell the rights back at 65 

If your not still caught in this 9-5 

Where's the happy ending in this fucking sitcom? 

We've served our king and now he's stripped our wings 

If you hear me crying through these cardboard walls 

then you know that I still exist 

Playing my part in this
