| [00:00.87] | The Tunics-The Way It Is |
| [00:03.03] | |
| [00:04.19] | |
| [00:05.13] | |
| [00:07.47] | Once upon a time in a town no different to ours |
| [00:15.51] | Where the stars don't shine and the birds don't sing |
| [00:22.90] | And the only thoughts are that of stealing cars |
| [00:29.74] | Or taking the next phone that rings |
| [00:36.42] | You pull together in different ways |
| [00:43.21] | Just to make it through the day |
| [00:49.94] | And the people rise where the sun don't set |
| [00:56.96] | And that's about as good as it gets |
| [00:59.87] | But that's the way it is… |
| [01:03.52] | |
| [01:17.62] | Here's a story of a man and his volatile crimes |
| [01:20.29] | He makes a quick getaway as the church bell chimes |
| [01:22.85] | Looks down at his watch as his life flies by |
| [01:25.22] | As the mother's they scream and they cry |
| [01:27.57] | |
| [01:27.77] | He's never really looked in the mirror before |
| [01:30.32] | He's afraid of what he might see |
| [01:32.85] | You know you get what you pay for |
| [01:35.24] | And you don't get nothing for free |
| [01:37.83] | In this life |
| [01:39.37] | |
| [01:47.93] | He's a short young man, living a short young life |
| [01:50.92] | He wants to pay for his life of strife |
| [01:53.27] | He knows what he's doing and he knows it's wrong |
| [01:55.55] | But hey, it gives you reason to sing your song |
| [01:57.94] | He's never really looked in the mirror before |
| [02:00.59] | He's afraid of what he might see |
| [02:03.64] | You know you get what you pay for |
| [02:05.57] | And you don't get nothing for free |
| [02:08.14] | But that's the way it is… |
| [02:19.79] | |
| [02:33.45] | And the boys in blue, well what do they do |
| [02:36.16] | If it doesn't hurt you, then it doesn't affect you |
| [02:38.60] | And these cunts hang out in groups on ten |
| [02:40.88] | They like to hurt you when you hang out with your friends |
| [02:44.11] | They never really look in the mirror before |
| [02:46.20] | They're afraid of what they might see |
| [02:48.78] | You know you get what you pay for |
| [02:51.09] | And you don't get nothing for free |
| [02:53.30] | But that's the way it is |
| [03:05.06] | |
| [03:44.14] | I can do what I wanna do |
| [03:46.76] | I can see what I wanna see |
| [03:49.09] | I can live how I wanna live |
| [03:51.30] | I can be who I wanna be |
| [03:53.93] | I can go where I wanna go |
| [03:56.51] | I can know what I wanna no |
| [03:59.05] | I'll be who I wanna be |
| [04:01.50] | See who I wanna see |
| [04:05.08] | |
| [04:08.74] | End |
