Billy Bob Thornton The edge of the world album





Everybody lies

(Billy Bob Thornton/Micahel R.Shipp)


Everybody lies
Everybody ties
Someone to them
And takes a little dope
Everybody sighs
Everybody tries
To clear the smoke
When there's no fucking hope

Everybody fakes
Everybody breaks
And hearts get killed
Along the way
Everybody takes
Everybody makes
Their own rules
Of how the game is played

So we keep stopping at the lights
When they don't look
And we keep drawing all the lines
For their books

But you and I can't seem to play
A game that works
'Cause you and I can't seem to say
Yes to the jerks
So we hurt ourselves

But you and I can't seem to play
A game that works
'Cause you and I can't seem to say
Yes to the jerks
So we hurt ourselves

But you and I can't seem to play
A game that works
'Cause you and I can't seem to say
Yes to the jerks
So we hurt ourselves

But you and I can't seem to play
A game that works
'Cause you and I can't seem to say
Yes to the jerks
So we hurt ourselves
