lyrics

"The 5th of July"

She walked into the room and said I cannot tell a lie
And I just stared and shook my head as people wandered by
I derailed her crooked train of thought with tears stuck in my throat

"I told you right from the start, that honesty's a joke
A never ending story of a man whose lost his way
A never ending journey to an unsuspected place
A never ending song that's stuck inside your head
A never ending life. It'll make you wish for death."

She looked away with nothing else to say
She started to nod but then shook it away
She looked me in the eyes, my knees began to shake


I knew what was to be said next, my heart began to break


"I'll try to put this lightly, don't want to let you down
I've never met a man who couldn't stand the sight of sound
who couldn't take the taste of touch and knew not when to lie
who wouldn't take a bribe.
You see, it's not as simple as your brain might make it seem
Cause I'm playing for myself and you're playing for a team
Sometimes the easy way, is the only the way to go."
