You could grip your teeth or up the ante

Swallow batteries and fall back in a line

I swear I've heard the start of this one a thousand times

You're at a stage to tear a new one

But you've got a conscience that leaks

You've not been who you want to be for days and days, and weeks and weeks

I'm somewhere, where I'm surplus to requirements

But I couldn't care less because if you know best then that's the best that you'll be

The fundamentals of your routine

Butting heads with what you preach

Such a nosedive in my estimations sadly quite an impressive feat

You're at a stage to tear a new one

But you've got a conscience that leaks

You've not been who you want to be for days and days, and weeks and weeks

I'm somewhere, where I'm surplus to requirements

But I couldn't care less because if you know best then that's the best that you'll be

I'm somewhere, where I'm surplus to requirements

But I couldn't care less because if you know best then that's the best that you'll be
