Lyrics

I wouldn't know what to do with another chance If you gave it to me I couldn't take the embrace of a real romance It'd race right through me I'm much better off With the way things are Much, much better off Better by far, by far I wouldn't know what to say to a gentle voice It'll roll right past me And if you chalk it up, you'll see I don't really have a choice So don't even ask me I'm much better off The way things are Much, much better off Better by far, by far So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on And I'll keep kicking the crap 'til it's gone If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be able to move on How could I fight When we're on the same side? How could I fight Beside you? So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on And I'll keep kicking the crap 'til it's gone If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be able to move on Keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on And I'll keep kicking the crap 'til it's gone If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be able to move on
