Lyrics

[Verse 1] Not a hostage Not a scapegoat Not a thing wrong Except you're cutthroat So, get your hands up Before the boat sinks 'Cause this ain't one for all Yeah, this is groupthink [Pre-Chorus] We got a ways to go We need a stepping stone I guess we're on our own Ain't that a bitch, though? We got a ways to go We need a stepping stone I guess we're on our own Ain't that a bitch, though? [Chorus] Tell me the truth Or tell me a lie Tell me what I've gotta say To get out of this room alive Show me the answers Or give me a clue Thеre's not enough space In thе miles between me and you Oh, no, here we go Here come the saints Of violence and innuendo So, tell me the truth Are you really surprised? You live in a world Where empathy goes to die [Verse 2] Kill the rich kids Shoot the sad boy Stab the pretty girl Go buy some new toys Not a hostage Not a scapegoat Not a thing wrong Except you're cutthroat [Pre-Chorus] We got a ways to go We need a stepping stone I guess we're on our own Ain't that a bitch, though? We got a ways to go We need a stepping stone I guess we're on our own Ain't that a bitch, though? [Chorus] Tell me the truth Or tell me a lie Tell me what I've gotta say To get out of this room alive Show me the answers Or give me a clue There's not enough space In the miles between me and you Oh, no, here we go Here come the saints Of violence and innuendo So, tell me the truth Are you really surprised? You live in a world Where empathy goes to die [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] Not a hostage, not a hostage Not a hostage, not a scapegoat Not a scapegoat, not a scapegoat Tell the truth, tell the truth [Chorus] Tell me the truth Or tell me a lie Tell me what I've gotta say To get out of this room alive Show me the answers Or give me a clue There's not enough space In the miles between me and you Oh, no, here we go Here come the saints Of violence and innuendo So, tell me the truth Are you really surprised? You live in a world Where empathy goes to die [Outro] Tell the truth, tell the truth Tell the truth, tell the truth
