[Verse 1]

I don't wanna be hostile

I don't wanna be dismal

And I don't wanna rot in an apathetic existence

See, I wanna believe you

And I wanted to trust you

And I wanna have faith to put away the dagger


[Chorus]

But you lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

And I tolerate you

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

I cannot tolerate


[Verse 2]

Veil of virtue hung to hide your method

While I smile and laugh and dance and

Sing your praise and glory

Shroud of virtue hung to mask your stigma

As I smile and laugh and dance and

Sing your glory while


[Chorus]

You lie, cheat, and steal

Lie, cheat, and steal

Lie, cheat, and steal

How can I tolerate you?

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

I cannot tolerate


[Verse 3]

Our guilt, our blame, I've been far too sympathetic

Our blood, our fault, I've been far too sympathetic

I am not innocent

I am not innocent

You are not innocent

No one is innocent


[Bridge]

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

You lie, cheat, and steal

I cannot tolerate


[Outro]

I will not tolerate you

I will go down beside you

I must go down beside you

No one is innocent
