Cheap thrills & party tricks

I was promised I could be happy
But I only found cheap thrills and party tricks
And they keep on selling me toys
Wont someone tell me a better story

The best of what you're offering
Has been tried and found wanting
In the depths of my heart
In my deadly additions
In the air that we breathe
In the theatre of our dreams
On the stage of my life
In the words that are said.

Not going to be so quickly pleased
I'm starting to see through those empty words
We're reaping the wages of our spin
Wont you tell me a better story
