The Way Things Are

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 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'd 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 till 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 can I fight, when we're on the same side?

How can I fight beside you?

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on

And I'll keep kicking the crap till 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 till 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
