Prove Me Right Songtext

von Memphis May Fire

We put our lives in the hands
Of the ones who claimed they truely cared
Come to find its all just a lie
And when we needed them no one was there

I swear I'm not bitter
I just see them for that they are
Money, Hungry, Cowards
Sucking the blood out of artists
And killing the art
So count out the money
You stole from starving artists
You watched pave the way
But you know just as well as I do
Without us, you're just an empty name

Where were you when they had
No faith in us?
Where were you when they shut us out?
It's funny you show up now
And if it fell apart
I know that you'd be nowhere to be found
We did this on our own
Thanks for nothing

The ones that kicked me when I was down
Are the same ones who say
That they need me now
That's fine, I'll play the game
But just know, I told you so
(HA HA HA HA)

I've seen the greed in their eyes
Well I guess I'm nothing but a dollar sign
I've seen the greed in their eyes
Well I guess I'm nothing but a dollar sign

Four years gone by,
Now everything is fine
No thanks to you
You'll never know, nor do you care
About what it took
Or the things we've been through

Where were you when they had
No faith in us?
Where were you when they shut us out?
It's funny you show up now
And if it fell apart
I know that you'd be nowhere to be found
We did this on our own
Thanks for nothing

Ignorance had me by the throat
From the day I learned how to sing
But now my eyes are open wide
And this is what I see

I see the greed in their eyes
They had me fooled at first because
I believed all the lies
Oh the lies
I see the greed in their eyes
They had us fooled at first
But we're taking control this time
We're taking control this time

Where were you when they had
No faith in us?
Where were you when they shut us out?
It's funny you show up now
And if it fell apart
I know that you'd be nowhere to be found
We did this on our own
Thanks for nothing

X2
So count your money
And I'll count my friends
We'll see who's richer in the end
