"My Life For Hire" lyrics

"My Life For Hire"

Somebody give me a sign,
That everything's going as planned,
And then everything falls away,
Into the darkness of this shallow place.
The detail is striking,
The room's cold and frightening,
You'll kick and you'll scream,
You'll try everything to survive,
But you should know your fate by now.

They told me (they told me)
How I should be,
But I broke the mold somehow!

It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done to me!

You, you know you gotta assert yourself,
Leave what you need for now,
It's not the time or place you're searching for.
All I can give them's my worst of intentions.
You're nothing to me and everyone can see that
Your life's a lie, there's nowhere left to hide.

They told me (they told me)
How I should be,
But I broke the mold somehow!

It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done

It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done to me!

Watch your back, you'll lose yourself!
This is a battleground!
When will they know,

Your life's a lie.

It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done

It's too late, too late.
You keep trying to resolve the past right now,
But I swear I'll be the one
To let the world know what you've done

They told me (they told me)
How I should be,
But I broke the mold somehow!
