Lyrics
You could burn many candles, say many prayers
Whatever's happening might never reach you
You could work out the angles, see soothsayers
They'll never tell you what you know to be true
In the end it's all inside, it leaves you with no place to hide
Betrayal by another name remains what it is
And somebody must pay the price
Of being first with the headlines
The ones who gain are not the ones we sacrifice
Well, when they break down his door and cut his throat in the street
There'll be words about the way things were before this began
Now there's profits to be made, deadlines to beat
Nothing stands in the way of the polls or the banks
It seems to me I've heard before, all is fair in love and war
But even I must draw the line at some point it seems
Giving up somebody's name
To men to whom it's not a game
And killing him yourself are really one and the same
Somebody must pay the price
Of being first with the headlines
The ones who gain are not the ones we sacrifice
