Dog leg, miss the turn off, take the avenue Close teeth round your tongue and hold it there Pull red through your veins the way you have to do Static rising, thickening the air Sit up straight babe, it won't make no difference It's not up to you Win or lose Not up to you Win or lose (It's what you wanted No need to shout You'll grow around it Or cut it out) You thought that you could choose? See it through? I don't know what makes a rage a holy rage You and I both know that I don't care No flame needs a blessing from a clergyman To set fire to somebody's hair So take the bait babe, it won't make no difference It's not up to you Win or lose Not up to you Win or lose (It's what you wanted No need to shout You'll grow around it Or cut it out) You thought that you could choose? You could refuse? Oh baby, just cut it loose Wage the good war, set their town to ruin Tear the bells down from the rafters Salt the earth and walk away (They never loved it anyway) Leave them calling out to you Your fatal flaw Was wanting more
