Lyrics

We put our lives in the hands of the ones
That claimed they truly cared.
Come to find it's all just a lie
And when we water them no one was there.
I swear I'm not bitter.
I just see them for what they are
Money hungry cowards sucking the blood
Out of artists and killing the art
So count out the money you stole
From starving artists you watched pave the way
But you know just as well as I do,
Without us you're just an empty name

Where were you when they had no faith in us?
Where were you when they shut us out?
It's funny you show up now and if it fell apart
I know that you'd be nowhere to be found.
We did this on our own.
Thanks for nothing

The ones that kicked me when
I was down are the same ones that say they need me now.
That's fine, I'll play the game but just know
I told you so

I've seen the greed in their eyes
Well I guess I'm nothing but a dollar sign
I've seen the greed in their eyes
Well I guess I'm nothing but a dollar sign.
Four years gone by, now everything is fine, no thanks to you.
You'll never know, nor do you care about
What it took or the things we've been through.

Where were you when they had no faith in us?
Where were you when they shut us out?
It's funny you show up now & if it fell apart
I know that you'd be nowhere to be found.
We did this on our own.
Thanks for nothing

Ignorance had me by the throat from the day
I learned how to sing
But now my eyes are open wide and this is what I see.
I see the greed in their eyes
They had me fooled at first because I believed all the lies.
Oh, the lies
I see the greed in their eyes.
They had us fooled at first but we're taking control this time
We're taking control this time!

Where were you when they had no faith in us?
Where were you when they shut us out?
It's funny you show up now and if it fell apart
I know that you'd be nowhere to be found.
We did this on our own.
Thanks for nothing

So count your money and I'll count my friends.
We'll see who's richer in the end
