Lyrics

0:13The time has finally come you get a mouth full
0:17You only act on greed and by your actions this is proved
0:20And can't you see all the flowers diein all around you
0:24Got your hands in the devil's pockets got everything to loose
0:27And so you lash out
0:29To crush the ones below
0:32Or all the ones that you fear most
0:35And you call this crowd control
0:39Well let me break it down for ya
0:41The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself
0:44Another way to cut the cost to hide your face from all the guilt
0:48And is a shame you had to say you had to kill to gain control
0:51But at least you made some money hey let the good times roll
1:02Its your dream to be the king of all creation
1:05As far as i'm concerned you hung you shadow on the wall
1:09And though your fingers never really pulled the trigger
1:12Your hands are just as guilty your the one who brought the blood
1:15Again you lash out to hush the ones who know
1:21Cause they're the ones that you fear most
1:24And it's called damage control
1:28Well let me break it down for ya
1:30The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself
1:33Another way to cut the cost to hide your face from all the guilt
1:37And is a shame you had to say you had to kill to gain control
1:40But at least you made some money hey let the good times roll
1:58Oh my the greed has now consumed you
2:02Your eyes fade as you fell into the ocean
2:06You move fast to feed your lust for money
2:10You dive down now you're caught in the commotion
2:13All this and you trade it in for nothin
2:17A cheap lie you put it in your pocket
2:21All this and you trade it in for nothin
2:25Oh my I can see you heart has met its end
The time has finally come you get a mouth full
You only act on greed and by your actions this is proved
And can't you see all the flowers diein all around you
Got your hands in the devil's pockets got everything to loose
And so you lash out
To crush the ones below
Or all the ones that you fear most
And you call this crowd control
Well let me break it down for ya
The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself
Another way to cut the cost to hide your face from all the guilt
And is a shame you had to say you had to kill to gain control
But at least you made some money  hey let the good times roll
Its your dream to be the king of all creation
As far as i'm concerned you hung you shadow on the wall
And though your fingers never really pulled the trigger
Your hands are just as guilty your the one who brought the blood
Again you lash out to hush the ones who know
Cause they're the ones that you fear most
And it's called damage control
Well let me break it down for ya
The fire in your veins is just a joke you tell yourself
Another way to cut the cost to hide your face from all the guilt
And is a shame you had to say you had to kill to gain control
But at least you made some money  hey let the good times roll
Oh my the greed has now consumed you
Your eyes fade as you fell into the ocean
You move fast to feed your lust for money
You dive down now you're caught in the commotion
All this and you trade it in for nothin
A cheap lie you put it in your pocket
All this and you trade it in for nothin
Oh my I can see you heart has met its end
