Let's Make a Deal
Stray from the Path Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything has its price
But the price is wrong bitch

The future was written on a cashed check
Like there's nothing to lose on an all in bet
Fear and loathing, so fucking sadistic
Play the people like a game, they're a fucking statistic
Born to lose, bound to fall
A dog running in circles never catches his tail
Rob the poor to feed the rich and push that agenda
'Cause you're Donnie's bitch

Everything has a price
But the price is wrong bitch

Slash the funs like a cut throat, ear to ear
A blind person in the car and you let them steer?
So you know where we're going? What's the ETA?
Downhill with the brakes cut, lead the way
1600 Penn, with a smile on your face
Rolling into the room like you own the place
Fake it 'till you make it, don't earn it, just take it
A promise to our youth and we just watched you fucking break it

Money makes the world go around
Money makes the world burn down
The union of our wealth and state has our future looking fucking great!

Climbing your way to the top
But the higher you climb, the further you drop





Everything has a price
But the price is wrong bitch

Man I love the guitar and drum tones and overall mix of this album. This shit bumps so hard.

I am so fucking glad that this band kept hardcore music alive!

@RoseOxton

Really wish they did a music video with this and had Drew dressed up in a little suit on a The Price Is Right parody show.

@joshuajames2802

Didn't Rage do something similar that? Might be remembering wrong. Great idea tho

@RoseOxton

Joshua James You're thinking of Sleep Now In The Fire, which they had a parody of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, but Zach himself was just in a suit in some snippets of the video, not impersonating a host.

@BaalSilverwing
