I used to tell the truth but now I know better
Nobody wants to know
Which way the wind will blow
Knives in my back, the handles read Jesus loves you
Just like honey for bees
I've been money for thieves
Innocent lamb led to the slaughter
The shepherd's the one who wields the blade
You've got to brace yourself
Make them take you alive
Kick at that dying light and just stay awake
Resist the urge to sleep and keep stumbling
All bets are off, take nothing for granted, baby
None of your good deeds
Will ever go unpunished
I promise you, where there's smoke, there's mirrors
Building's on fire, someone's selling water
You've got to brace yourself
Make them take you alive
Kick at that dying light and just stay awake
Resist the urge to sleep and keep stumbling
A friend or foe, you never see it coming
Everything will change and then again
You've got to brace yourself
Make them take you alive
Kick at that dying light and just stay awake
Resist the urge to sleep and keep on stumbling
You've got to brace yourself (Baby)
You've got to brace yourself
