so this girl from athens,
slides into the bar.
if only she knew
that she'd take it this far.
like a leaf without a tree
she lost her roots.
tell me where they ignored you.
in your world of fiction-
you'll meet fact rolling like a train
so thanks for the chat,
thanks for the chat.
(Chorus):
we all do what we do
just to get by.
we all see what we see,
not to ask why.
we will look the other way,
when you walk by.
so don't ask us tomorrow,
who did the crime?
so this girl from athens
claims she's the one
who told all the bug guns
to go where she's from.
come down off your throne
before we knock you down.
in a pool of lies you're gonna drown,
you're gonna drown.
(Chorus)
so this girl from athens
walks in here.
she knows she's all that
minus her fears.
bringing me down
seem to be her game.
she knows now
who is to blame
for all the rejections
she will face.
maybe one day
she can stand in my place,
stand in my place.
(Chorus)
