Cause addiction's an excuse
I could use a lie or two
But deceiving yourself
Is harder than you might imagine
All my brain's gone to hell
And my heart's probably worse
I've made love such a sin
That it's become my addiction
I want to be a politician
Cause then you'd see me in a suit
I've got looks and a mind to boot
But they don't count for nothin'
I want a goal I can pursue
All my love's in automatic transmission
And all my life's shifting gears
I wish I could have faith in fiction
Until I disappear
I wish I were licked
Defeated, face down in the dust
It wouldn't be my responsibility anymore
And I wouldn't have to make decisions
I could simply blame this
All on my addictions
Instead of the quiet fear I feel
That these are the wages of my sin
The wages of my sin
Wish that I had faith in fiction
Wish that I had faith in fiction
