lyrics

I been hiding low key high up in the rafters
I've been shouting out, I don't want applause after
Too many opps in the audience
A lotta dead kills the ambience don't you think?
I do?
Don't you think?
I do?
Well it's still legal ain't it?
But legal these days needs a bit of explaining
Maybe always did, just got hip to the changes
The schemers and players
The crooks and their favors
Was it cash or for labor?
Focaccia offers got the rest of us sittingg in squalor
Your life or the guala
What they do for a dollar makes your skin crawl
If your skins in the game at all
Name the court
I'll bring the ball
Winner take all

How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?

The days haunt me
In a manner that I can't move
Night terrors on a joy cruise
Who's that? That's the boys in blue
And I don't have no love
And no it isn't cool
And no it isn't sweet
I want retribution
In a manner undeniable
That anyone could see the difference
Miles carved from inches
Curtains for the henchmen
Gallows for collaborators
Shame for the silent and compliant
Hello operator
Connect me, I'm feeling heavy
Rightfully so
Counting all my blessings with a lump in my throat
I got too many questions about which way this could go
Sleep with one eye open and I'm turning my home
Into something out of Home Alone
No tours, no peaks
No justice, no peace
Never thought I'd want a piece
Nazis in the streets
Take the safety off release
I'm a lover, pray I don't gotta squeeze

How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?
