You say your life's just a drag cause everything you ever wanted you had
but now you can't complain but all you do is complain
and you're moving out to higher ground
where all the stars hang out and all the money's found

Were you blinded by the lies
Were you blinded by the lies
Were you looking for some fame like a moth to the flame
Were you blinded by the lights big city lights, bright lights big city

Well you can't sit still
And you're climbing a wall
But you know that you can't complain but all I do is complain
Cause I'm broke and that's no joke
Left looking at the silverscreen
When you're born with the silver spoon

Were you blinded by the lies
Were you blinded by the lies
Were you looking for some fame like a moth to the flame
Were you blinded by the lights big city lights, bright lights big big big whoooo

You know what they said
kickin em in the face, kickin ya when ya down

Were you blinded by the lies
were you blinded by the lies
were you looking for some fame like a moth to the flame
were you blinded by the lights big city lights, bright lights big city lights

Were you blinded by the lie
Were you blinded by the light
Were you blinded by the lie
Were you blinded by the lights lights lights (take it home now)
