My Defense Lyrics - Singles - The Briggs

But of course I'll say nothing of the sort 

Don't let me have control of my art 

Honesty and an empty bank account 

Are my gun and hand full of rounds 

But we've said it all along 

The president was wrong 

The only thing left 

Is a hope that now is gone 

And I want someone to say 

That they'd listened to me 

And if I learned one thing today 

Is that you'd probably sue me for honesty 

The floor is open we'll be taking questions now 

Ask how to lose your mind I'll try to show you how 

You left me tattered up and torn 

You've been digging graves since the day that you were born 

But we're frightened and alone 

A place that I call home 

The way to my heart 

Is a knife through the bone 

And I want someone to say 

That they'd listened to me 

And if I learned one thing today 

Is that you'd probably sue me for honesty 

The floor is open we'll be taking questions now 

Ask how to lose your mind I'll try to show you how 

I've left me tattered up and torn 

You've been digging graves since the day that you were born 

But we're frightened and alone 

A place that I call home 

The way to my heart 

Is a knife through the bone 

And I want someone to say 

That they'd listened to me 

And if I learned one thing today 

Is that you'd probably sue me for honesty
