Verse 1
0:27
I stood my ground
0:27
Loud opinion, not much proof
0:30
Never saw the spit on my face
0:37
Mouth full of answers, none of ’em true
0:41
Learned how to shout, never learned to hear
0:48
Pointed my finger, named the disease
0:56
Said that’s the poison
1:03
Said that’s not me
1:07
Chorus
1:11
The irony of life, it feeds you what you hate
1:11
Serves it up slow, calls it somethin’ else
1:19
You swear you’d never swallow what you spit in their face
1:25
Never taste the poison till it’s yourself
1:33
Verse 2
1:41
Said we fight power, we speak the truth
1:41
Said it out loud till it felt like proof
1:45
Called it order when it silenced a voice
1:48
Called it right ’cause it was my choice
1:52
Chorus
1:58
The irony of life, it feeds you what you hate
1:58
Serves it up clean with a righteous name
2:05
You swear you’d never swallow what you spit in their face
2:12
Never know you’re eatin’ the very same
2:20
Bridge
2:27
Funny how power tastes sweet at first
2:27
How the lie goes down easy when you think it’s deserved
2:30
Till you’re defendin’ the thing
2:34
You once tried to shout down
2:37
Judgment feeds the hand it hates
2:39
Chorus
2:44
The irony of life, it feeds you what you hate
2:44
Lets you call it truth, lets you call it fate
2:50
The worst kind of lie wears your own face
2:57
Yeah, the worst kind of lie wears your own faceLife don’t care what side you’re on
3:04
It just feeds you long enough
3:18
To see what you’ve become
3:24
