Sold Down The River by Breathless Lyrics

Whoever promised rain, I say
They must have felt some shread of doubt
Who (and why) could claim forever
And then so quietly just bow out?
I dare say it happens
Let's say they're here to test your strength
Most of which is already spent
I never pray now for myself
But can I pray for someone else
I dare say it happens
I'd like to say don't believe a word
I had no idea that a victim sleeps
Behind the painted smile of the newspaper headlines
Don't think that we have ever been so underhand
As to take it in
It would be serious if ever a wound set in
Well I'm sure, with your well healed scars
You'll never let that pretty face get dirty again
They're selling lies, as I see
To fatten up the proceeds
They're selling lies, they're wicked lies
The point devoured by open mouths
With one wrong track as the only way to go
