Money/Anguish, Fame/Shame

An extra mile across the line Kick the bass one more time Life is simple, life is great I don’t thank it for my faith How many men have died for my sins? The answers kill you from within Glory and blame, it's all the same You still don’t understand Money and fame, anguish and shame Some things go hand in hand Shove this apple down my throat Your poison is my antidote I don't burn and I don't bleed Only as dead as secrets you keep I will cry an alibi What more could you want? Money and fame, anguish and shame Isn’t the halo enough? Glory and blame, it's all the same You still don’t understand Money and fame, anguish and shame Some things go hand in hand Glory and blame, it's all the same You still don’t understand Money and fame, anguish and shame Some things go hand in hand Your celebrity, the enemy Glory and blame, it's all the same You still don’t understand Money and fame, anguish and shame Some things go hand in hand
