Cigarettes, Wedding Bands

The working man's day, we just piss it away
 We sit out in the weather
 "Familiar," he said, "time soon breeds contempt,"
 Wash your hands of it forever
 Violence, it ripped through the old dogwood fence
 See the whole scene unravel
 The drunk brother said he could reason with them
 While they lied at night, they lied at night
 While they lied
 While they lied at night, they lied at night
 While they lied
 The picture was left on the front porch
 The back said, "I love you, don't you ever think of me?"
 If my body goes, then to hell with my soul
 We don't even know the difference
 The dead folks in the clouds, for crying out loud
 While they lied at night, they lied at night
 While they lied
 While they lied at night, they lied at night
 While they lied
 And why did we live so long?
 Long
 Long
 The house is not the same since we left it that day
 Old friends seem to wander
 Our parents' hands
 Cigarettes, wedding bands
 While they lied at night, they lied at night
 While they lied
 While they lied at night, they lied at night
 While they lied
 And why did we live so long?
 Long
 Long
 While they lied at night, they lied at night
 While they lied
 While they lied at night, they lied at night
 While they lied
 While they lied at night, they lied at night
 While they lied
