lyrics
I mumbled out an answer, when asked about my cloud
I walked in hunching over, don’t want to look too proud
I used to get my hopes up, kept getting knocked back down
Not caught dead acting happy, just to end up someone's clown
And it’s all the same, it’s all a game
You give it everything, they give it up halfway
It’s all the same, it’s all a game
You give them everything, they throw it all away...
But not my name, I'm clean
My word is worth more than your mean machine
I dusted off my ego, patched where the light came in
Asked myself where do we we go, worked out where to begin
All plans to pick myself up, recently run aground
Will soon be reinstated, what’s lost will soon be found
And it’s all the same, it’s all a game
You give it everything – that tired old cliché
It’s all the same, it’s all a game
They give you everything then take it all away...
But not my name, I’m clean
My word is worth more than your mean machine
My words are worth more than your mean machine
You could have said so
You could have said no
I would have let it go
Now hear my name, I’m clean
My word is worth more than your mean machine
I'm clean
My words are worth more
My words are worth more
My words are worth more than your mean machine
