I See Red

Back in my school days, acting the fool days

One and one and one, makes three

And a man said, "Kid, come and cut yourself a piece of the big time"

Armour-clad horses, riding Trojan horses

Never made sense to me

I didn't want to be a part of the great debate on moonshine

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me

Take this advice, you're out of your head

Said, "Stop, hold the phone, this has to be"

Cut to the bone, too bad, I see red

I see red, I see red, I see red

When the sly man stumbles, twists, and he tumbles, he always lands on his feet

And he sets his face towards the far horizon

Won't you come this way, can't you go that way?

But his rhythm don't miss a beat

'Cause, he's doing everything he can to keep surviving

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me

Take this advice, you're out of your head

Said, "Stop, hold the phone, this has to be"

Cut to the bone, too bad, I see red

I see red, I see red, I see red

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me

Take this advice, you're out of your head

Said, "Stop, hold the phone, this has to be"

Cut to the bone, too bad I see red

(I see red) I see red, (I see red) I see red, (I see red) I see red, (I see red)

So who wants a riot? People should be quiet

Don't we give them good T.V.?

You can learn to love your lifetime of distraction

Nothing on the inside, nothing on the outside

All the way from A to Z

I can live without that kind of satisfaction

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me

Take this advice, you're out of your head

Said, "Stop, hold the phone, this has to be"

Cut to the bone, too bad, I see red

(I see red) I see red, (I see red) I see red, (I see red) I see red, (I see red)

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me

Take this advice, you're out of your head

Said, "Stop, hold the phone, this has to be"

Cut to the bone, too bad, I see red

(I see red) I see red, (I see red) I see red, (I see red) I see red, (I see red)

"Stop, pay the price," they said to me

Take this advice, you're out of your head

Said, "Stop, hold the phone, this has to be"

Cut to the bone, too bad, I see red

(I see red) I see red, (I see red) I see red, (I see red) I see red, (I see red)

Stop
