lyrics

It’s the needles and pins
I feel when my day begins
Cause pins and needles
Are the greedy people
Trying to win

I’ve seen it before
But you better believe there’s more
Cause history repeats itself
When they forget what’s in store

And
When
I realized that I
Loved you
It was simple to admit
I couldn’t
Go on with it
Nothing is
Worse when I’m
Without you
Baby if you stay
You’ll never
Get away

We needed a place
To run and hide from the pace
The rats and weasels
Vying
Trying
To get ahead in the race

Please welcome to the stage
Your one and only personified rage
Beaten
Starving animal
Released from its cage

Don’t know how this will end
When it’s beginning to trend
I see your head
Is getting bigger
Every time you pretend

You want to make like a friend
But I just can’t understand
How you think
Life’s
Only
All about what you spend

And
When
I realized that I
Loved you
It was simple to admit
I couldn’t
Go on with it
Nothing is
Worse when I’m
Without you
Baby if you stay
You’ll never
Get away

Hooray
It’s a good day
When we get to go out
And play
It is what it is
No judgement
Live life your way
So go
Do what you do
You’re free to
Say what you say
It’s an inevitable truth
One to live by
One, two, three, four

Once again yeah my friend
We’ll see it through to the end
Yeah, you know if we fight
We don’t break but we bend
It’s like a serial trend
After a Saturday send
And if you think the afterparty’s over
Please think again
Cause it’s one
More
Down

It’s a simple game of chess
Where I lose
Every piece is gone
I’m stripped down to a pawn
But at least I realize
What I have to do
Move across unseen
So I return to my queen

And
When
I realized that I
Loved you
It was simple to admit
I couldn’t
Go on with it
Nothing is
Worse when I’m
Without you
Baby if you stay
You’ll never
Get away
