At The Gates

from Volume II by The Magnificent Electric

lyrics

When I'm at the gates
Won't need no illusions
When I'm at the gates
Won't need no lies

You gotta tell 'em what they wanna hear
They'll act as if they're your friends
People pleasing just to get by

They're out to get you and the smell your fear
Yet they'll act like you're friends
You work hard to get ahead just to wonder why

When I'm at the gates
Won't need no illusions
When I'm at the gates
Won't need no lies

Losing innocence, losing hope
As the years roll by
You did what you had to, to survive

Losing innocence, losing hope
As life slips away
You'll find you've traded more than just your time

When I'm at the gates
Won't need no illusions
When I'm at the gates
Won't need no lies

When you're young it's no big deal
You don't realize you're asleep at the wheel
You live the life that's good enough for now

It starts slowly but it festers inside
There's no harm in one little lie
Til you find you've deceived yourself as well

When I'm at the gates
Won't need no illusions
When I'm at the gates
Won't need no lies

When I'm at the gates
Won't need no illusions
When I'm at the gates
Won't need no lies
