Hot off the wire the town crier is shouting in the streets

As everyone goes for their gun to take their aim at me

They caught me kissing you out of turn

And I'm gonna burn

I recall it was in the fall you turned me into spring

Drew me awake with a shake that struck like lightening

And it was much too late to turn around

As fate unwound

They're all talking about us now

They want to break our spirits down some way some how

So petty with their pestilence it's pitiful

They're blind to see

While they're busy crying guilty

Our hearts are claiming victory

The story is straight but this weight is bending it to be

A crooked tale of betrayal and failed integrity

It's bound to drag my name down through the dirt

And it's gonna hurt

They're all talking about us now

They want to break our spirits down some way some how

So petty with their pestilence it's pitiful

They're blind to see

While they're busy crying guilty

Our hearts are claiming victory

They're all talking about us now

So let them talk I still walk the line for you and me

The ground is thin and they're sinking in their own hypocrisy

I know that all their words are only words

The truth is blurred

They're all talking about us now

They want to break our spirits down some way some how

So petty with their pestilence its pitiful

They're blind to see

While they're busy crying guilty

Our hearts are claiming victory
