Lyrics
We expected something, something better than before
We expected something more
Do you really think you can just put it in a safe behind a painting
Lock it up and leave?
Do you really think you can just put it in a safe behind a painting?
Lock it up and leave?
Walk away now
And you're gonna start a war
Whatever went away, I'll get it over now
I'll get money, I'll get funny again
Whatever went away, I'll get it over now
I'll get money, I'll get funny again
Walk away now
And you're gonna start a war
We expected something, something better than before
We expected something more
You were always weird
But I never had to hold you by the edges like I do now
You were always weird
But I never had to hold you by the edges like I do now
Walk away now
And you're gonna start a war
Whatever went away, I'll get it over now
I'll get money, I'll get funny again
Whatever went away, I'll get it over now
I'll get money, I'll get funny again
Walk away now
And you're gonna start a war
Walk away now
And you're gonna start a war
