Secret History

[Verse]

They took all of your money, didn't they?

(All of your money, didn't they?)

They count their tired alms from the poor

They pissed on your dreams, didn't they?

(All of your money)

And wondered if you'd come back and give a little more

Make your mother proud, you've got to

Make your mother proud, you've got to

[Refrain]

Sharpen those dead dreams

Pay them violently

Write them quietly

Secret history

[Breakdown]

Sold

Sold the dream for arms and legs

To work, to eat, to sleep, repeat

[Bridge]

Took all of your money, didn't they?

Took all of your money, didn't–

Took all of your money, didn't they?

Took all of–

[Refrain]

Sharpen those dead dreams

Pay them violently

Write them quietly

Secret history

[Breakdown]

Sold

Oh, make your mother proud, you've got to

Sold the dream for arms and legs

To piss and shit in homes you rent

Sold

Oh, make your mother proud, you've got to

Sharpen those dead dreams

You're on your own in a secret history

You're on your own in a secret history
