Like sex when you're too young
Like youth when you've got none
Like home when you're too drunk
Getting everything you wanted with a lot of bad credit
was never quite worth what you give up to get it

like style made by slaves
like bribes to throwaways
like women who know their place
Like an indian casino and a tank of unleaded
it was never quite worth what you give up to get it

stand back, stand back, stand back
stand back, stand back, stand back
You love it now, but it's too much
Yeah you love it now but, it's too much

like fame for what you're not
like joy that you bought
like pleasure that never hits the spot
like security for liberty you gotta admit
it was never quite worth what you give up to get it now
