You can say that you don’t care what they think*
Makin' sure that you sink;
After all it will please them
And to make sure they will collect what they’ve earned
You will crash and you’ll burn
Just to prove you don’t learn
So throw the fight, why don’t you?
Give it all away then
Prove them right, why don’t you?
And listen to them say it
Don’t you know
There’s no way that you could ever fall
Hard enough to shake them
There’s no way that you could ever fall
Far enough to take them
There’s no way that you could ever fall
Hard enough to break them all
Don’t you hate like hell it’s a hammer to nail;
Helping hands never fail;
They have pounded you so well
So if you’re inclined to give all they deserve
You’ll live down to your worth
And live up to their word
So twist the cord, why don’t you?
Tighter so you’re tangled
Go some more, why don’t you?
Higher so you’re hanging
Don’t you know
Hey, baby, it’s not you’re fault
You had no chance; those goods had all been bought
Hey, baby, just walk away
You don’t have to stay anymore
