lyrics

THIEVES

why won't you let me, put a bug in your ear
I'll use a whisper, to bottle your fears

I fight with lightning, I wash away years
I make discoveries, won't sleep at the wheel

and if you can, tell me why, why,
come on, tell me why, why

some things are broken, and they should stay that way
they should stay that way
the in-crowd has spoken, so let me do my thing
and just burn, burn, burn

I don't listen to the voices, even though they're friends I can't lose
'cause I make the hard choices, I write my own blues

I split the ocean, and the sky in two
then shower devotion upon the chosen few

and if you can, tell me why, why,
tell me, why, why

we are all born broken, but meant for bigger things
yeah, we're meant for bigger things
but nothing gets done, once everybody's had their say
so let's burn, burn, burn

I'm just trying to find my way, so I'll lie, lie, lie down with thieves
from what I'm told, there's no escaping fate, so I might as well
lie, lie, lie down with thieves
now I know, these are my golden days, so I will lie, lie, lie down with thieves
in from the cold, my only saving grace, was to lie, lie, lie down with thieves
at least in thieves I can believe
in thieves, I can believe

Better Living Through Chemistry Ottawa, Ontario

Better Living Through Chemistry are a straight up rock band, with clever lyrics and catchy hooks.

They have a bad case of broken strings, cracked cymbals, and buzzing mics. Schooled in the alternative music scene of the 80s and 90s, this band wears their influences (The Replacements, Faith No More, R.E.M., & Soul Asylum, (among many others) on their collective sleeves...like badges of honour. ... more
