==Lyrics==<br />
This song is dedicated to the chain of lies<br><br />
Handed down from generation to generation<br><br />
Like cancer through the ages<br />
<br />
Well you seem to be waiting<br><br />
For the thunder or the lightning<br><br />
To blow away all your bad luck baby<br />
<br />
Well you seem to be waiting<br><br />
For a big landslide to take you away<br><br />
But I don't think that a million bucks<br><br />
is really gonna change your luck<br><br />
I'm here to tell you that's too high a price to pay<br />
<br />
'Cause it don't take much of the right thing<br />
<br />
And if I stay by you<br><br />
Don't worry about it<br><br />
It don't take much for me to stay by you<br><br />
And if I love you too much<br><br />
Don't worry about it<br><br />
It don't take much for me to love you<br />
<br />
And they say that the world's gonna end with a whimper<br><br />
Well that's just the sound it makes anyway<br><br />
And I'm sure a bottle of some more million bucks<br><br />
would make it feel better<br><br />
But believe it or not I think that's too high a price to pay<br />
