lyrics

some are painting on the canvas
to show the way they feel
some are filling up notebooks
to tell the same ordeal
i could walk through the door
but the truth gets in the way
and your's is a bitter price to pay

some are talking on the radio
or from a satellite dish
beaming to my front lawn
every dream and wish
i put a bullet through my tv
at the point blank range
and your's is a bitter price to pay

now i know i'm a bad man
without a leg to stand on
laying down my alibis
laying down my guns
got blood on my hands
and oh by the way
your's is a bitter price to pay

i been taking out the trash
of my twisted little heart
it was long overdue
but i was coming apart
you're the life of the party
got nothing to say
but your's is a bitter price to pay
