The Price Of My Soul - That Petrol Emotion

In your poisoned mind

Bloated by your reign

Are your feelings dead

Sacrificed for gain

Oversights will shout

Contradictions scream

Pay them no heed

In your warped daydream

Blissful ignorance betrays you

All your false virtues will craze you

Your sense of justice will turn round and will betray you

Broken hearts can wield more power

Than a champagne life turned sour

Your alibis are growing weaker by the hour

You’ve forgotten to look 'round you

Maybe privilege makes you blind

And arrogance ignores the lessons

The ones I know we’ll keep in mind

Buying self-respect

Plastic happiness

It’s a house of straw

It’s a cash caress

But it’s out of bounds

There’s no way you could afford

Or try to understand

The price that’s on my soul

You’ve forgotten to look 'round you

Maybe privilege makes you blind

And arrogance ignores the lessons

The ones I know we’ll keep in mind
