All shine, no silver All glam, no gold Your lines deliver But your act gets old You’ll tell a lie until it sticks You’ll shoot a gun until it clicks You’ll shout out the cries of the old and sick And stick to the body politic Uh-huh Yeah You’re like a snake with roving hands I don’t even think you understand Mind of a child with high demands You took it further than you planned Uh-huh Yeah You’re all shine, no silver All glam, no gold Your lines deliver But your act gets old (2x) Your act gets old Despite all the calls for urgency We never thought it’d come to be Is this the world we want to see Or can we call emergency Uh-huh Yeah It’s all on us to fix it now Expect us to bend but never bow We’ll figure out the whens and hows But this is a fate we can’t allow Uh-huh Yeah You’re all shine, no silver All glam, no gold Your lines deliver But your act gets old (2x) All shine no silver Your lines deliver You’re all shine, no silver All glam, no gold Your lines deliver But your act gets old You’re all shine, no silver All glam, no gold Your lines deliver But your act gets old (2x)

She said: Thirty-six is the new thirty-six If you don’t understand me, babe, you better hit the bricks You’re standing there with your mouth open like a stone transfixed If you’re gonna make your move, you better get in the mix I know I make it look easy I know I make it look easy but you know it ain’t I know I make it look easy I make it look easy but you know it ain’t He said: Everybody’s trying to hold me down Lord, grant me the serenity to keep the faith and keep my place and keep my crown We’re a team of stallions in a one-horse town But we’re gonna keep on running, babe, till we hit the ground And make it look easy I know we make it look easy but you know it ain’t (you know it ain’t) You know we make it look easy I know we make it look easy but you just know it aint (you know it ain’t) Appearance deceives yes you’ve got to believe That you see what you need to achieve Break from it, take from it, don’t run away from it now We make it look easy We make it look easy but you know it ain’t We make it look easy I know we make it look easy but you know it ain’t

Well, let’s mark today down as a qualified success Didn’t get much done, it’s more subliminal If you paint with gray, you know that you’ll just make a mess It’s better to run with unoriginal Let me (let me) Sell you Let me (let me) Sell the truth I’m gonna sell the truth I’m gonna sell the truth Let’s set them up like they’re gonna make a difference Then knock them down like dominoes They’ll listen up, because it’s time to show some deference Or we’ll lock them up like animals Sell the truth (Sell it to me, sell it to me, sell it to me) I’m gonna sell the truth (Sell it to me, sell it to me, sell it to me) I’m gonna sell the truth (let me) Sell you Let me (let me) Sell the truth (If you’re gonna tell me then you better tell it better sell me If you’re gonna sell me then you better sell forever cuz I Gotta get together whether seller or confessor and I shredded all the evidence and it’s all gone forever If you’re gonna tell me anything you gotta tell it better sell me If you’re gonna sell me then you better sell forever cuz I) I’m gonna sell the truth I’m gonna sell the truth

Second Hand 03:36
lyrics
buy track
We’re all holding onto something That we wish we could change We’ve all done wrong by our brothers And we spin a web of pain So many things I can’t control But I won’t let regrets chain my soul I’ll own up to my mistakes Start living in the second hand Sometimes there ain’t no second chance And I might not know it’s coming When it’s more than I can stand And I don’t know what’s happening Gonna let the clock keep running Start living in the second hand We idolize the undiscovered It’s a drug we all abuse There’s no one line for us to follow We’re paralyzed with trying to choose So many things I can’t control But I won’t let regrets chain my soul I’ll own up to my mistakes Start living in the second hand Sometimes there ain’t no second chance And I might not know it’s coming When it’s more than I can stand And I don’t know what’s happening Gonna let the clock keep running Start living in the second hand Time moves faster than you think So try to measure it in moments Don’t get lost in what will be Keep your heart, your mind, your eyes wide open Start living in the second hand Sometimes there ain’t no second chance And I might not know it’s coming When it’s more than I can stand And I don’t know what’s happening Gonna let the clock keep running Start living in the second hand

Little red Camaro spinning laps around the cul-de-sac Little red Camaro laying tracks, never coming back She said she’d pick me up at nine (yes she did did did did did did) She flipped her shades on as she drive right by and said “Yeah, you better find another ride today Yeah, you better find another ride today” Hitting on all cylinders, she never looked to see me cry Sticking up that middle finger, just her way of saying goodbye She said she’d pick me up at nine (yes she did did did did did did) She flipped her shades on as she drive right by and said “Yeah, you better find another ride today Yeah, you better find another ride today” Na na na Na Na, Na na na Na Na Na na na Na Na, Na na na Na Na She said she’d pick me up at nine (yes she did did did did did did) She flipped her shades on as she drive right by and said “Yeah, you better find another ride today Yeah, you better find another ride today” “Yeah, you better find another ride today Yeah, you better find another ride today” Na na na Na Na, Na na na Na Na Na na na Na Na, Na na na Na Na

On and on it goes Eighty-hour weeks, ain’t got nothin’ to show I break my body down to the bone Keep your hands out of my pocket, yeah, I lock it up like something I stole Nothing comes for free but look at me, I think you already know I get mine, I get mine Any place and any time You’ll get yours, you’ll get yours If you tighten up and get in line You better get while the getting’s good But the getting never feels the way it should When we’re only just trying to get by I scraped and dragged along Until my dignity was all but gone I’ve carried you for far too long Keep your hands out of my pocket, yeah, I lock it up like something I stole Nothing comes for free but look at me, I think you already know I get mine, I get mine Any place and any time You’ll get yours, you’ll get yours If you tighten up and get in line You better get while the getting’s good But the getting never feels the way it should When we’re only just trying to get by I get mine – I get mine, mine, mine, mine I get mine, mine, mine, mine Ooh Keep your hands out of my pocket, yeah, I lock it up like something I stole I get mine, I get mine Any place and any time You’ll get yours, you’ll get yours If you tighten up and get in line You better get while the getting’s good But the getting never feels the way it should When we’re only just trying to get by I get mine – I get mine, mine, mine, mine I get mine, mine, mine, mine
