lyrics

Swap out the cigarettes and whiskey
Paint this new one in gold
Disguise the hunger
Pretend this one is more controlled

Maybe we spend our lives
Trading one bad habit for another vice
Dress it up change its name
With a whole new look as if it's not the same

We swear we'll never be
Controlled by anything
Yet we sell ourselves for a price

Swap out the cigarettes and whiskey
Paint this new one in gold
Disguise the hunger
Pretend this one is more controlled

Swear we won't
We won't sell
Everyone has a price and only time will tell

How do we define wealth?
In pursuit of happiness we sacrifice ourselves

We swear we'll never be
Controlled by anything
Yet we sell ourselves for a price

Swap out the cigarettes and whiskey
Paint this new one in gold
Disguise the hunger
Pretend this one is more controlled

Swap out the cigarettes and whiskey
Paint this new one in gold
Disguise the hunger
Pretend this one is more controlled

Swap out the cigarettes and whiskey
Paint this new one in gold
Disguise the hunger
Pretend this one is more controlled

We all have our own version of a vice
