[Verse 1]

Ooh, I don't owe this world a goddamn thing

So keep holding your breath for some apology

You better look me in the eyes when you're talking to me

To see the sorrow sacrificed before you judge how I dream

Well, if you want my respect, just know it don't come cheap

A man pays with his soul for the price of his wings

I paid decades of dues, and did my time in the streets

So now no man's opinion means a fuck to me

[Chorus]

Don't tell me this is only make believe

Or my psychotic type of fantasy

You thought that this was really happening

I doubt I will wake up tomorrow night

There's a side of me you'll never see

A place of pain buried underneath

I've sacrificed everything

Only to find tomorrow never comes

[Verse 2]

You could shoot me dead, but you'll remember my name

I'll never be your bitch, and I'm no man's slave

A once heart of gold, tarnished and rusted away

Am I on top of the world? Sometimes it's hard to say

[Chorus]

Don't tell me this is only make believe

Or my psychotic type of fantasy

You thought that this was really happening

I doubt I will wake up tomorrow night

There's a side of me you'll never see

A place of pain buried underneath

I've sacrificed everything

Only to find tomorrow never comes

[Bridge]

Up in smoke

Down in flames

As the bombs fall

Crashing over me

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Don't tell me this is only make believe

Or my psychotic type of fantasy

You thought that this was really happening

I doubt I will wake up tomorrow night

There's a side of me you'll never see

A place of pain buried underneath

I've sacrificed everything

Only to find tomorrow never comes

Don't tell me this is only make believe

Or my psychotic type of fantasy

You thought that this was really happening

I doubt I will wake up tomorrow night

There's a side of me you'll never see

A place of pain buried underneath

I've sacrificed everything

Only to find tomorrow never comes

[Outro]

Up in smoke

Down in flames

As the bombs fall

Crashing over me
