The Peace Offering

I was filming my final scene the other day

When something really rather grave came over me

"Don't take it so personal," you used to say

"It's only a game"

The first thing I lost was belief in the system

But in the end, the system always wins

I bet you wanna know what happens next, don't you?

Patience

So if I'm being frank

I have no need for your scented candles

I don't need your peace offering

I'd rather have the money you spent

If I'm being frank

So I ride into town on a blood-red horse

Thinking about the thought that connects all thoughts

Where did it get you being Mr. Plus One?

You're not being honest

As Heaven's my witness

I did you no harm

There was no, no malice in my heart

Even after everything you've done

No, I don't wish you death by stinging nettles

I don't with you death by a thousand paper cuts

No, not anymore

But I, I think it's better

You, you stay where you are

And I continue to support you from afar

Through the whispered words of mutual friends

Or the Society Pages

Of the Evening Standard magazine

See, I remember how you operate

And I see now what was really at stake

So when we meet again at the crossroads

And you see me the way I see you

There will be no bitterness

Just next time, do the right thing

Do the right thing

Don't be evil

And do the right thing
