Better Off Empty Handed Lyrics

I need some answers
I'm sick of the tension
My subtle obsession
With meeting the end

Run for the fences
You trying defenceless
I'm calling off sets now
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is

I'm smelting your conscience
It's your choice to look away
But you picked your beliefs

Seeing double (Seeing double)
I could see you struggle
By little take it all
Never give away

Heavy handed (Heavy handed)
But we're demanded
You cut the child loose
And now he ran away
They always run away


I'm smelting your conscience
It's your choice to look away
But you picked your beliefs

Keep your hand in your pockets
Don't work if there is no pay
Leave empty handed

All that money [?]
Little boys grow old on the outside
Inside they rot until they're dead

I'm smelting your conscience
It's your choice to look away
You picked your beliefs

Keep your hand in your pockets
Don't work if there is no pay
Leave empty handed
