You Were the First by The Velvet Teen Lyrics

I wanted out, so i escaped
You cannot build until you learn to break
When time will tell
What will it say?
'i am not money'
Or maybe, 'wait'
You were the first, like the one before you
You got it worse
Well, i don't got it, it due
You lost the thirst and drank, but i grew
'i break the curse'
You say, but i do
I want the pills and the bottle and the excess
I want the bill and the model that collects it
I want the thrill and the throttle and the lexus
I want it all
Pay none of the taxes
All of the greats are bested one day
They sigh, 'auf wiedersehen'
Sometimes i feel i'm better off doin' the same
Until the day we pull back that veil
At least pull back on the reins
I've seen the film and i fall asleep at the end
The end
We will not bend
We will not sway
Until you say
'i'm at your mercy'
