Sign Your Life Away Lyrics - Genesis

Well I heard you sold them America 

You said it was built to last 

Price is right, the time is now 

You said it was going fast 

Well I've got my beliefs 

And I don't agree with a single word you say 

A convincing smile, a twist of truth 

You seem to get your way 

And they believed you 

With every word you said 

It always sounded so convincing 

As you signed their life away 

So tell me what you're thinking 

When you lie in your bed 

The suffering you've caused 

Surely it must go around your head

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Well they call you Mr Cover 

A predator at heart 

A man who's reputation 

Was dangerous from the start 

You lie and you steal, cheat and you rob 

Sold anything you could 

You never had a second thought for people that you hurt 

And they believed you 

With every word you said 

It always sounded so convincing 

As you signed their life away 

So tell me what you're thinking 

When you lie in your bed 

The suffering you've caused 

Surely it must go around your head 

It's been so many years 

Well you've hurt so many people 

As you've singed their lives away 

Do you ever spare a moment's thought about the price they have to pay? 

And they believed you 

With every word you said 

It always sounded so convincing 

As you signed their life away 

So tell me what you're thinking 

When you lie in your bed 

The suffering you've caused 

Surely it must go around your head...
