Lying for a living

Sell these words like they could feed your family
In the end, that's where we all need to be
Just say no to virtue and value
Neglect your vision for a crack at infamy
You can buy out anyone that disagrees
Just say no to virtue and value
I keep it honest so my vision stays clear
Easy is overrated, I'll carry us all uphill
Good is a term, a sound like any other
I can use it too, I can lie like you
Just say no to virtue and value
In a world of liars an honest man is hated
Bring on the fire, I'm ready for saving
Just say no to virtue and value
I keep it honest so my vision stays clear
Easy is overrated, I'll carry us all uphill
The discord's in my heart, the power's in my pen
What will I use this for, how can I help you understand?
Lying for a living is as easy as breathing
I'll devote every moment to a reality bigger than me
Is the best of me just a fraction of a profit
When did the business side consume the music and the artist
A slip of the pen is just a dollar in your wallet
We'll never be, we'll never become your cash cow
Truth carry me, and I'll carry you
