lyrics

do as i say not as i do
cause the shit's so deep you can't run away
i beg to differ and on the contrary
i agree with every word that you say
talk is cheap and lies are expensive
my wallet's fat and so is my head
hit and run and then i'll hit you again
i'm a smart-ass but i'm playing dumb
standards set and broken all the time
control the chaos behind a gun
call it as i see it even if
i was born deaf, blind and dumb
losers winning big on the lottery
rehab rejects still sniffing glue
constant refutation with myself
i'm a victim of a catch 22
i have no belief, but I believe
i'm a walking contradiction
and i ain't got no right
