Don’t Believe a Word Third Eye Blind

[Verse 1]
Cigarette fingers, ember stain
Incriminating notes on a paper chain
Did you ever get the feeling that you've been cheated?
I wanna bust out, I've not been defeated
They're all straw bones, they hold no water
Got the whiplash smile, this gets harder
Time has wound down and now we've been cashed
Because half measures are all half-assed
How did we ever end up this way?
And I've gone numb in disarray
Cultivating our ignorance
Didn't we have some standards once?
I hate you and your cowboy boots
Oh, we wanted clever, we settled for stupid
We threw it all away, so indiscreet
Like a bad boyfriend, just a dirty little cheat

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a shallow, vicious state of mind
Like an angry chump getting dumped online
Give me back my photos, will you?
You fucking whore, I'll kill you!

[Chorus]
(Don't believe it) Don't believe a word
(Don't believe) Just keep on breathing
(Don't believe it) 'Cause pretty soon
(Don't believe) That good King George will wake up screaming
