"The Snake And The Crown" - Raine Maida

Today I got to thinkin' the world's in a strange way
Feels like I'm at a 7/11 when a robbery takes place
Do I hide behind the counter with my hands covering my face?
Or, or do I dive for the gunman, before he makes his break?

Does a .45 go off and the bullets ricochet?
This is not some random nightmare
See for me, well, this is everyday.

[CHORUS]:
Though I've been waitin' for this train to come 'round
I've been waitin' for the deal to go down
I've been lookin' for the things not found
So far, so far away.
I'm just doin' my best today[/end chorus]

With all the cigarettes and alcohol and a few minutes to pray
But it don't do what it used to, so we'll have hell to pay
A penny for your thoughts, a penny for my cliches

Oh, I tried to get some distance, I tried to escape
But this nightmare's so persistant in a Shakespeare kind of way
Be not afraid...
Oh FUCK that, be VERY afraid!

[Chorus]

Who sold you out?
Oh, we did, we did
And who let you down?
Oh yeah, we did, we did
Who put on this crown?
Oh yes, we did, we did
We did, we did, we did

Who sold you out?
We did, we did
Who let you down?
We did, we did
And who put on this crown?
We did, we did
We did, we did, we did, we did

Who sold you out?
We did, we did
And who let you down?
We did, we did
Who put on this crown?
We did, we did
We did, we did, we did, we did

Ah, ah yes we did
Ah, you and me did
Ah, ah yes we did
We did

Listen to Our Lady Peace. He was the lead singer. Well, actually, they're supposed to be working on a new album... Whatever. xD

Don't say anything about his voice until you listen to that.
