Doing Time

The lives of some men
If walls could talk to spill the lies
We’d see the world through devil's eyes
I maintain an addiction
Been known to take it too high
I got an itch with a loaded hair trigger
And a one-way ticket to fly
When there's no writing on the wall
I see the lifeless devil start to crawl
I don't need no lessons
After all, everybody's doing their time
Caught your eye in the corner
Don't you look at me wrong
Fucked up and thrown into the gutter
Gotta to fix what don't belong
I see the writing on the wall
I see the lifeless devil start to crawl
I don't need no lessons
After all, everybody's doing their time
That's just a price to play
So tell me what you like
Gotta hand on the kerosene match tonight, right
Had enough of opinions
I got enough on my mind
Sell your soul for approval
And a dollar got a pretty little body to grind
I see your number on the wall
I see the lifeless devil start to crawl
I don't need no lessons
Watch the fall, you lost my attention
After all, everybody's doing their time, time
