Song of the Siren
You make a bad mistake
You play the total fake
These choices that you make
Just might make you
You slight a longtime friend
Relations at an end
You take another bend
Where it takes you
You'll never know what the day will bring
You'll never gain regretting anything
You'll never feel the ties that sever
Saying never
Weighing ev'rything
Don't make such a fuss
That's what ev'rybody does
Common passages
That's what ev'rybody does
Don't be scared because
That's what ev'rybody does
You're like one of us
That's what ev'rybody does
You compromise a bit
And shovel some old shit
Your self-appointed pit
Hasn't lost you
Your reputation's thin
Trash out, so trash comes in
The treasure that you spend
Might just cost you
You'll always be the one who's justified
You'll always be the same fool deep inside
You'll always have familiar hallways
Skewed in small ways
View it all as pride
So don't make such a fuss
That's what ev'rybody does
Common passages
That's what ev'rybody does
Don't be scared because
That's what ev'rybody does
You're like one of us
That's what ev'rybody does
You make a bad mistake
You play the total fake
These choices that you make
Just might make you
You slight a longtime friend
Relations at an end
You take another bend
Where it takes you
You'll never know what the day will bring
You'll never gain regretting anything
You'll never feel the ties that sever
Saying never
Weighing ev'rything
Don't make such a fuss
That's what ev'rybody does
Common passages
That's what ev'rybody does
Don't be scared because
That's what ev'rybody does
You're like one of us
That's what ev'rybody does
You compromise a bit
And shovel some old shit
Your self-appointed pit
Hasn't lost you
Your reputation's thin
Trash out, so trash comes in

You'll always be the one who's justified
You'll always be the same fool deep inside
You'll always have familiar hallways

That's what ev'rybody does

That's what ev'rybody does
