Convict

French Films

I'm a convict in a madhouse blues
 Trying to live by the silver rule
 I don't understand a word about
 Pension plans or saving accounts

 It's weekends and the nightlife tunes
 Dying lust in the smoking rooms
 They take whatever they make
 Heart fails or Jesus saves

 Now was it all I ever wanted too
 All I ever wanted too

 Flick through for a better view
 Screens get bigger for smaller news
 I'd like to love but it's a teenage dream
 And all the Biebers turn into junkies at nineteen

 Suits, ties and lies for good
 Black-eyed wives drinking Jack at noon
 Don't you miss your one last chance
 To lose everything for the dance

 Now was it all you ever wanted too 
All you ever wanted too
 Now was it all we ever wanted too
 All we ever wanted too

 Oh everybody's waiting for something
 But who's crawlin' to the right way
 Oh everybody's waiting for something
 Hiding from the devil in the morning
