Lyrics

Intro

Oh oh oh

Mm hmm

Verse 1

Polished rims on the long stretch of interstate

Speeding past

Every bridge that we dared to incinerate

Nothing left behind

Found a suit made of linen and heavy silk

Wealthy grins

Swimming laps in a fountain of honeyed milk

Pre-Chorus

No more pockets empty

No more staying humble

Just the pride

Chorus

Since we got big we could lie

Since we got big we could lie

Such a pretty fiction

Such a bitter friction

Everything is easy now

No one has to cry

Everything is easy now

No one has to cry

Verse 2

Marble halls where we trade all our memories

Sold the farm

Buying up all our former worst enemies

Silent dinner parties

Watch the clock and the crystal just gravitate

Heavy glass

Checking out at a much more expensive rate

Pre-Chorus

Golden chains around us

Tangled up in comfort

Watch it slide

Chorus

Since we got big we could lie

Since we got big we could lie

Such a pretty fiction

Such a bitter friction

Everything is easy now

No one has to cry

Everything is easy now

No one has to cry

Bridge

Maybe it was better

When we had nothing

Better when we struggled

Lost in the easy life

Trading the truth away

Just to feel fine

Chorus

Since we got big we could lie

Since we got big we could lie

Such a pretty fiction

Such a bitter friction

Everything is easy now

No one has to cry

Everything is easy now

No one has to cry
