I don't understand that sound on the radio

If man makes God in his own image

Kills art, kills love

Wanna make a little money, give your weight and your measure
A D G Gmaj7 G6
Keep your numbers high and the wolves at bay
A D G Gmaj7 G6
You could wind up in the Metro Guilty Pleasures
A D
Once you get your name in that little black book
G Gmaj7 G6
You can sign your life away

To a little white lie, little white lie

There in all that you do
