Money and women come

But before you know it, they're all gone

And these pearls I'm diving for

They've been pebbles all along

And did I make a bitter girl out of you?

I'm sorry I've been so fake

I put your bathwater in my soup

I hope my neighbor don't mind the taste, yeah

At the beginning of the story

When all you've got is faith

And the fighter asks, "Are you not entertained?"

And it's a tiny little promise

When the morning starts to break

But you feel sick to your stomach anyway

That's what it's like to be free

Damn

That's what it's like to be free

Damn

Why wear my armor when I can be soft?

Why be a hero when I can be me?

It's a lonely kind of self-involved

But it's the only way I get to sleep, yeah

And it's a slaughterhouse, this loving thing

I give up, I lie down to take the knife

At the beginning of the story

When all you've got is faith

And the fighter asks, "Are you not entertained?"

And it's a tiny little promise

When the morning starts to break

But you feel sick to your stomach anyway

That's what it's like to be free

Damn

That's what it's like to be free

Damn

That's what it's like to be free

Damn
