THE KNOWN WORLD
Lyrics: Aaron Jentzen

I'll drive out on a street full of shinier cars
Hear those engines roar
Little white lies is what they are
But every night needs a candle to stay awake
Every man needs something that he can't shake
And she always has a word, a glass of wine or a dollar

Soldiers & Sailors, cannons and students
All think this world is their own
The time they steal, they try to sell it back to the years
But it's just another pawnshop, a handout, a payday loan
All this nothing for nothing that eats at your bones
Paid off with a knife or a club or a rope

CHORUS
In the known world
You're all dogs and snakes and Christ
In the known world
It's closing up, for what that's worth

All was lost, before we were born
All will be won, after we're gone
All was lost, before we were born
All will be won, after we're gone

CHORUS
