You were faced with a choice
That I could never make in five lifetimes
So you called up your boys
To rough me up

They were down in the crowd
With a hammer and an attitude to match
But you were so composed
I was in awe of your simple tones
As you gave the word to crush these bones

No, the camera won't lie
But the witnesses will tell storied side

You were tied to the consequences
And your apathy broke along with your instinct
And you swore that you'd change
Your ways
And you spent two decades
In the company of criminals to whom you can't relate
So you turned your back
On the past

No, the camera won't lie
But the years will tell the storied side
