When The Story Breaks

I know some things about you that you think I don’t know
The people you see, the places you go
You thought that you were clever and left no trace
There is wire on your phone to wipe the smile off your face
When the story breaks, you’re going down, down, down
This time, you’re not gonna buy your way out
And we both know, it’s just a matter of time
'Til you get yours and I get mine
My only regret is that I’ve been the last to know
You fucked it up proper, now why not see the show?
News travels fast and news travels wide
So why’d you tell me all the news from the side?
You’re falling like bowling pins, one by one
It’s not a game; it’s a sport, and it’s fun
It’s something they’ve been well working on
When the story breaks, you’re going down, down, down
This time, you’re not gonna buy your way out
And we both know it’s just a matter of time
'Til you get yours and I get mine
Split-second relation
Stop here for a fucked-up nation
You got away with it for far too long
Now it’s time for you to sing another song
A little bird
When the story breaks, you’re going down, down, down
This time, you’re not gonna buy your way out
And we both know it’s just a matter of time
'Til you get yours and I get mine
Split-second relation
Stop here for a fucked-up nation
You got away with it for far too long
Now it’s time for you to sing another song
A little bird
