Dm7
I can't read about it
Dm7
Burns the skin from your eyes
Dm7
I'll do fine without it
Dm7
Here's one you don't compromise
G
Lies come hard to disguise
G                            A
Let me to fight it out, not wild about it
Dm7
Lay your seedy judgments
Dm7
Who says they're part of our lives?

Chorus:
 A          A7
You own the money
G               G7
You control the witness
A             A7
I hear you're lonely
G                     G7
Don't monkey with the business
A            A7         G            G7
You pay the profits to justify your reasons
A             A7            G
I heard your promise but I don't believe it
 G7                    Dm7
That's why I'll do it again

Dm7
No-no-notorious

Girls will keep the secrets (uh)
So long as boys make a noise
Fools run rings to break up
Something they'll never destroy
Grand Notorious slam (bam)
And who really gives a damn for a flaky bandit?
Don't ask me to bleed about it
I need this blood to survive
