We better pick up the pieces
Feels like we're losing control
To see the truth when it's naked
Just throws us out in the cold
I could make you a promise
Look you straight in the eye
But you know I find it so easy
To trade the truth for a lie, sometimes

Do as I say, not as I do to you
I'll only let you down when we're the only ones around
What's in your blood' What's in the air you breathe'
There's more than me and you choking on the golden rule

I could I tell you I love you
You'd say you've heard it before
It feels a lot like the last time
Always the same four chords
And though I know I'm a failure
Still I just have to believe
Somewhere someone's gonna show me
Just what this honesty needs

Do as I say, not as I do to you
I'll only let you down when we're the only ones around
What's in your blood' What's on your tv screen'
There's more than me and you choking on the golden rule

We're all politicians and TV preachers...
Someone save us from ourselves
