[Verse 1]
I don't wanna be hostile
I don't wanna be dismal
And I don't wanna rot in an apathetic existence
See I wanna to believe you
And I wanted to trust you
And I wanna have faith to put away the dagger
[Chorus]
But you lie, cheat, and steal
You lie, cheat, and steal
You lie, cheat, and steal
And I tolerate you
You lie, cheat, and steal
You lie, cheat, and steal
You lie, cheat, and steal
How can I tolerate?
[Verse 2]
Veil of virtue hung to hide your method
While I smile and laugh and dance and
Sing your praise and glory
Shroud of virtue hung to mask your stigma
As I smile and laugh and dance and
Sing your glory while
[Chorus]
You lie, cheat, and steal
Lie, cheat, and steal
Lie, cheat, and steal
How can I tolerate you?
You lie, cheat, and steal
You lie, cheat, and steal
You lie, cheat, and steal
How can I tolerate?
[Verse 3]
Our guilt, our blame, I've been far too sympathetic
Our blood, our fault, I've been far too sympathetic
I am not innocent
I am not innocent
You are not innocent
No one is innocent
[Chorus]
You lie, cheat, and steal...
How can I tolerate?!
[Outro]
I will not tolerate you
I will go down beside you
I must go down beside you
No one is innocent
