You heard the whisper In your ear "I got all you ever wanted, got it right here You been working too hard I can feel your pain It's been a long dry spill, I can make it rain" And that voice drowned out your conscious So you made a real, clean brain From many reservations, now you do whatever it takes I stick to the straight, and narrow And there's an easy way When you find out when there's hell to pay Dirty money Spends just fine You can wash the bad taste out your mouth with the fine red wine Collateral damage Well, it can't be held You can't save the world, so you save yourself And that voice drowned out your conscious So you made a real, clean brain From many reservations, now you do whatever it takes There's a stranger in your mirror That you just turned away 'Cause the stranger knows there'll be hell to pay You gain the world It only cost your soul Now the deals are done, so let the good times roll 'Til the clouds roll in And the sky turns grey And the voice returns to say "there's hell to pay" Heaven help you out when there's hell to pay
