The High Life It seemed like such a good idea Stake your claim boys and you can make it here But now we're down in the mud The quick and not enough Are both bleeding And yeah tomorrow's Long gone sold For a song That I'm stealing We can light A fire now With all that's Left to burn And warm our hands on failed plans And new leaves left unturned In the high life, the high life The high life, the high life Look around now tell me all's not lost Take the coin boys from where your heart once was Now heaven is lying empty, and all the devil's here We can drink our bellies full But never quench the first And we can burn the spinning wheels But when you're cursed, you're cursed With a taste for the high life, the high life The high life, the high life Shut up all my life I've been hearing the voices Of the silver spoon Of the perfect smile Of your gilded lives I know now in your veins There will only be blue blood Come on, cut me now you will find That I bleed the blackest bile I know now none of your kind Is ever on my side So the rich stay the rich And the rest forever be denied
