The Spoils Of The Spoiled Lyrics - The New Amsterdams

There was honor among the thieves 

The only truth I could believe 

But, when the lies applied to me and mine 

The better left unsaid 

We could write the hit parade 

Outside the masquerade 

The headache comes in tidal waves 

The spoils of the spoiled, the spoils of the spoiled 

The lines of history became the scenery 

It's strictly an accessory, an image to uphold 

But it's all in fun and sin until someone calls it in 

The cycle comes around again 

But I'm older now and don't you know 

I've figured out the antidote 

It overwhelms, engulfed in smoke 

It's all we can to cope 

Goddamn these idle hands as hindsight can 

Our hopes and plans are unfulfilled 

It's over 

It's overwhelming 

There's a proper place and time 

Though the bags under your eyes 

They don't lie, they don't lie 

They don't lie
