Some People - Lyrics by Ian Janis


Lyrics
Faithful is a lie
Freedom's just a gamesomebody tacked ontoyour ball and chain
Love is a drug
You've been canonized
Want to be a high priestess?then you got to sacrifice
Somebody wants youto put out your eyesand drag you loweron the ladder than he is
Reel you in slowlykingfish on a line
Some people get a kickout of making you suffer
You try the patience of the godsin the heat of a moment's pleasureand your sad retreat
Mistake the moment for the song
The actor for the role
The neon light for day
Somebody wants youto clip your wings
Take shelter in the darkand the savage heat
Mocks you with the burning skyand drops you in the ring
Somebody gets a kickout of seeing you suffer
He can't take pleasure
He feeds on pain
He ain't no gambler
He just likes to play the game
It's a measure of a man
It's a candle in the rainto treasure the linkand not the chain
