I′m putting your patience to the test

I'm putting your body on the line, for less

And didn′t you know there was a choice?It's never yours but someone else's voice

Sellin′ your body to the street

Sending your girlfriend′s to the night, for cheap

Wearing a jacket made of meat

Sealing a letter made with horse's feet

And now you′ve heard that

Waves turn to grey

Life in the shade

A violent crime

And that's the USA

Platinum′s on the rise

Playboys in disguise

I'm just trying′ to find

A mountain I can climb

I'm putting your patience to the test

I'm putting your body on the line, for less

And didn′t you know there was a choice?

It′s never yours but someone else's voice

And now you′ve seen that

Blondes turn to grey

Life in the shade

A violent crime

And that's the USA

Porn′s on the rise

Psycho's in disguise

I′m just tryin' to find

A mountain I can climb

Darling, ain't nobody gonna tell us

They′re gonna be oh so jealous

We′re gonna be oh so silent

They're gonna be stoned in silence

(I didn′t want to ask you baby

I didn't want to have to ask anyone baby

Is anyone asking maybe

Can anyone hear me/this shit?)

Why are you waiting beyond the door

Life turns to dust

And rain turns to rust

Gossip is a truth

And money pays for the lies we trust

Your love is a surprise

Homeless saints are in disguise

I′m just tryin' to find

A nice place for you and I
