Walking For Pennies - Truth Has Been Told lyrics

rate me

You got that silver spoon yes I've seen it dangling from your mouthWhen you give some sorry excuse for the mess that you've made of yourMama's houseBuilt up and born into waste it's no surprise when your eyes confessCause we all get used to the taste of sugar coated words and the sweetSmell of successYou traded your soul for a smile and a winkOh yeah, easy as sin, wellIt is what it is but it ain't what you thinkNo, no, the clever don't always winSo cling to your crown if you will but you can't turn paper to goldAnymore than a lie can deceive once the truth has been toldThe twist and turn of a word can polish it up til it shines like newAnd we bop our heads to the beat but more often than not it's the same oldTuneWell god helps those who help themselves so grab another piece of the pieAnd don't you mind if there's some who never got none- they must have beenUnwilling to tryYou traded your soul for a smile and a winkOh yeah, easy as sin, wellIt is what it is but it ain't what you thinkNo, no, the clever don't always winSo cling to your crown if you will but you can't turn paper to goldAnymore than a lie can deceive once the truth has been toldTell yourself the stars aligned and dropped you down to the earthA celestial prophecy, how blessed are we by your noble birthBut we are just flesh and blood and sometimes love and hateAnd it don't matter what you sayYou traded your soul for a smile and a winkOh yeah, easy as sin, wellIt is what it is but it ain't what you thinkNo, no, the clever don't always winSo cling to your crown if you will but you can't turn paper to goldAnymore than a lie can deceive once the truth has been told
