The Us Electric - Watching Lyrics

Lyrics and Music - Colby Parson and Susan Morse
The Us Electric -Threshold - 2006

Watching people going down the drain
Throwing it all away
Try to find a new way
What have you done today?
What did you buy?
How much did you pay?
No matter what you say
It's all a f*cking waste
You're a slave

Go to school, get a job
Buy a car, and a house
Maybe you'll catch a break
Someday
Get a raise, take a trip
Have a kid, or a pet
On the verge, then it's gone
Too late

Telling lies
You wear disguise
It's no surprise
You're running on empty
You place a price on human life
The pain and strife
You cause is so deadly

Deadly poisons coarsing through your veins
Under the sky of pain
And all the world is lonely
This is the game we play
Think what you want
But watch what you say
Working your life away
Pushing you down and into the grave

Getting tired out of breath
Year by year more regrets
Can't catch up growing debts
You'll pay
An empty soul is what you get
in its place a pile of shit
Don't give up some time is left
To change

Change your ways
It's not too late
We make mistakes
What have you done lately?
Open your eyes
They cheat, they lie
And when they die
Their hell will be waiting
