It's an honest mistake to let a young heart break, And the promise you make can be taken home, or taken away When love is sold and bought at less than cost these days I've found the perfect replacement for love just in case she eludes me in life I'm alive and oh, that's a miracle And they say we're born in lust, love's just a dream to us And my heart is a slayer of doubts, a purveyor of keeping you out An obeyer of no one and nothing at all There ain't no way we're going to stop today That's how we operate *The world can destroy herself, she won't employ my help We're our own children and we won't be blamed for none of it ("Oh man, you effed up big time." "what? we kind of just fell off." "teresa is gonna kill you.") Not my fault You make an honest mistake, they never let you forget it Your cut of the take was a loss, she did but you didn't regret it Cause they say we come from dust, look what's become of us We're gonna give 'em our worst if they hurt us on purpose When loves in decline, it's a crime but oh, we're criminals And there ain't no day gonna stop the way that we operate *The world can destroy herself, she won't employ my help We're our own children and we won't be blamed for none of it
