The skilful calculation
Of everything you need
The sly manipulation
Well, that's all, money and greed
Won't help you succeed
They pay you when you're winning
They pay you if you lose
And that just keeps you grinning
Ear to ear, you don't refuse
It keeps you amused
Didn't like you anyway
There's no truth in what you say
Never dealt in honesty
Always reading prophecy
And you'd get it anyway
As we crawl in disarray
And your smile just isn't right
As you take another bite
I hear you call that dealing
That's not the word I'd use
'Cause some might call it stealing
No pretence, that's just abuse
Whatever you choose
Now I can tell your fortune
The way it's going to end
You're staring at the full moon
In the dark, your only friend
Too late to pretend
Didn't like you anyway
There's no truth in what you say
Never dealt in honesty
Always reading prophecy
And you'd get it anyway
As we crawl in disarray
And your smile just isn't right
As you take another bite
Didn't even look away
When they placed a dead bouquet
On the grave of charity
With a veil of apathy
And it echoes day by day
As the reasons blow away
And your hands grow very white
As you take another bite
Well, you're no better than a hungry dog, that's biting
And you're the one who's always after more
Well, you're no better than a thief at night, that's frightening
You know the devil is your friend for sure
Didn't like you anyway
There's no truth in what you say
Never dealt in honesty
Always reading prophecy
And you'd get it anyway
As we crawl in disarray
And your smile just isn't right
As you take another bite
Didn't even look away
When they placed a dead bouquet
On the grave of charity
With a veil of apathy
And it echoes day by day
As the reasons blow away
And your hands grow very white
As you take another bite
