Down with the shine, the perfect shine
That poisons the well and ruins my mind
I get took for a ride, every time
Down with the glistening shine
Its in with the new, and out with the old
Out goes the warmth, and in comes the cold
Its the most predictable story told
In with the young, out with the old
Down with the shine, the perfect shine
It poisons the well and ruins my mind
I get took for a ride, every time
Down with the glistening shine
A belly full of high dollar wine, a fat hand, a fat wallet too
Things change and get strange, with the movement of time.
Its happening right now to you.
Down with the shine, the perfect shine
It poisons the well and ruins my mind
I get took for a ride, every time
Down with the glistening shine
Its a real bad time to bring up the truth
But we searched we found no fountain of youth
Not in spain no where near any where close to here
Theres nothing good cause nothing last
And all that comes it comes here to pass
I will voice my pain but the change wouldnt last
All that comes it comes here to pass
Down with the shine, the perfect shine
It poisons the well and ruins my mind
I get took for a ride, every time
Down with the glistening shine
I get took for a ride, every time
Down with the glistening shine
I said down with the glistening shine.
