lyrics

You keep your ideals
I’ll take what I can steal
Go and hedge your bets
This is the best life I’m gonna get
You still got a heart
Beating in your chest
Shelter from a world
That hasn’t broke you yet

Gun at my back and I’m betting on a rain check
Hole in my soul lookin for a way out of town
Throw me a bone I’ll go ahead and break it
Glitter ain’t gold when you’re lookin' for something else

Sedate me kind
Enough to fake a smile
Shake me please
Awake from this American Dream
I don’t need your love
I don't need your grace
I don't need your prayers
To keep me on my knees

Gun at my back and I’m betting on a rain check
Hole in my soul and I'm lookin for a way out of town
Throw me a bone and I’ll go ahead and break it
Glitter ain’t gold when you’re lookin' for something else

So hold me close
You can lie to me but just don’t let me know
So hold me close
You can lie to me but just don’t let me go
