Secret History lyrics

[Verse]
They took all of your money, didn't they?
(All of your money, didn't they?)
They count their tired alms from the poor
They p*ssed on your dreams, didn't they?
(All of your money)
And wondered if you'd come back and give a little more
Make your mother proud, you've got to
Make your mother proud, you've got to

[Refrain]
Sharpen those dead dreams
Pay them violently
Write them quietly
Secret history

[Breakdown]
Sold
Sold the dream for arms and legs
To work, to eat, to sleep, repeat

[Bridge]
Took all of your money, didn't they?
Took all of your money, didn't–
Took all of your money, didn't they?
Took all of–
[Refrain]
Sharpen those dead dreams
Pay them violently
Write them quietly
Secret history

[Breakdown]
Sold
Oh, make your mother proud, you've got to
Sold the dream for arms and legs
To p*ss and sh*t in homes you rent
Sold
Oh, make your mother proud, you've got to
Sharpen those dead dreams
You're on your own in a secret history
You're on your own in a secret history
