Verse 1

I stood my ground

Loud opinion, not much proof

Never saw the spit on my face

Mouth full of answers, none of ’em true

Learned how to shout, never learned to hear

Pointed my finger, named the disease

Said that’s the poison

Said that’s not me

Chorus

The irony of life, it feeds you what you hate

Serves it up slow, calls it somethin’ else

You swear you’d never swallow what you spit in their face

Never taste the poison till it’s yourself

Verse 2

Said we fight power, we speak the truth

Said it out loud till it felt like proof

Called it order when it silenced a voice

Called it right ’cause it was my choice

Chorus

The irony of life, it feeds you what you hate

Serves it up clean with a righteous name

You swear you’d never swallow what you spit in their face

Never know you’re eatin’ the very same

Bridge

Funny how power tastes sweet at first

How the lie goes down easy when you think it’s deserved

Till you’re defendin’ the thing

You once tried to shout down

Judgment feeds the hand it hates

Chorus

The irony of life, it feeds you what you hate

Lets you call it truth, lets you call it fate

The worst kind of lie wears your own face

Yeah, the worst kind of lie wears your own faceLife don’t care what side you’re on

It just feeds you long enough

To see what you’ve become
