They Do, They Don't

Tied down against the tracks

Screamin' in silent black and white

Why'd you trust us

We are such villains

We would tell ourselves

Anything we want to hear

If we are willing

To listen is to learn

Then too much is what we deserve

And how come when we say that we do

We don't

Pray to anybody you want

We won't

Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh

But if we're the ones to blame

Then the fruit

Shouldn't taste so good

We were used

To thinkin' we got nothin' to lose

We're losin' everything but the truth

Is walkin' straight into a roadblock

Bendin' left, here endin'

Your point of view was chosen

By the serpent's ruse

With all it's do's and don'ts

The future is an empty promise

Unconcerned and so tired of waiting

But we could sell it wooden horses

Full or nightmares

And when they open

This all might recompose

There's no going back to the good old days

It's just a phase

Bring in some new life

Archaism is a dusty road

Leadin' us back to nowhere

If we're the ones to blame then the fruit

Shouldn't taste so good

We were used

To thinkin' we got nothin' to lose

We're losin' everything but the truth

'Cause walkin' straight into a roadblock

Endin' left, here bendin'

Your point of view was chosen

By the serpent's ruse

Oh oh oh oh

How come when

We say we do, we don't

How come when

We say we will, we won't

How come when we say

That we do, we don't

Oh oh oh oh

How come when

When we say that we will, we won't
