Lyrics:
 Setting sun deals hands of gold
 There’s velvet eyes in Mexico
 Just a fall away
 And all she said was true
 Speak in tongues, speak in lies
 Drooling livers, born to die
 It’s a wonder that those guns don’t point at you

 Keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', you won't live forever
 Keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', you won't live forever

 Point and shoot, I know just what you mean
 In a world that’s full of shit and gasoline, baby
 One dog’s dead one’s on the phone
 Just leave a lung or leave it alone
 It’s that same on song again
 I hate it cause it’s true

 Keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', you won't live forever
 Keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', go on, keep sayin', you won't live forever
