Putting your patience to the test
Putting your body on the line for less
Didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours but someone else's voice
Selling your body to the street
Selling your girlfriend's to the night for cheap
Wearing a jacket made of meat
Sealing a letter made with this horse's feet
And now you've heard that
Waves turn to grey
Life in the shade
A violent crime
And that's the USA
Platinum's on the rise
Playboys in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find
A mountain I can climb
Putting your patience to the test
Putting your body on the line for less
Didn't you know there was a choice?
It's never yours in someone else's voice
And now you seen that
Blondes turn to grey
Life in the shade
A violent crime
And that's the USA
Porn's on the rise
Psycho's in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find
A mountain I can climb
Darling, ain't nobody gonna tell us
They're gonna be oh so jealous
We're gonna be oh so silent
They're gonna be stoned in silence
''I didn't want to ask you baby
I didn't want you to ask anybody baby
Is anyone asking maybe?
Can anyone even hear me?''
Why are you waiting beyond the door?
Life turns to dust
And rain turns to rust
Gossip is a truth
And money paid for the lies we trust
Your love is a surprise
Homeless saints are in disguise
I'm just tryin' to find
A nice place for you and I

ScottFromWyoming Feb 28, 2013 - 12:07	I'm over it. I think there was a song of theirs that I liked better, but this one's always been iffy. edit: Now it says "plays in last 30 days: 4" How lucky I am to have heard them all. [ Reply ]

Nerubo Nov 15, 2011 - 13:00	My theory about the song name - they threw dice and looked up a page in an encyclopedia or dictionary, since song names that actually match words in the song are so painfully obvious and uncool. Same school of thought as Smashing Pumpkin's "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" which should have been called "Rat in a Cage". [ Reply ]
coloradojohn Nov 13, 2011 - 02:38	Just the other day — I swear to God, people, it was JUST THE OTHER DAY — I had Is This It and Room On Fire blaring like I hadn't done in years, and while sadly, most of the rest of this record (or ... Earth) doesn't measure up or pick up where those left off, THIS ONE DOES! [ Reply ]

Nice song, too. I LOVED that game. I rented it once from our local video store and just never returned it. Luckily for me, it was bought out by a chain place a couple months later, so I got away with it. Of course, that was in the very early 90's I think. I recently came upon an emulator and ROM of the game, so I can play it on my computer anytime I want. As a matter of fact... I may go play it now. [ Reply ]
