I can’t speed up
I can’t slow down
And I still keep losing ground
And I know that this isn’t a race
And I’m just going to avoid losing face
And there’s as much difference between yin and yang
as there is between a tooth and a fang
And someone said
you want a war?
You got a war
But who are you fighting for
so, someone
Give me a reason to fight
Give me a reason to flee
Give me a reason to cry
Give me a reason to plea
Can you not tell that the world is slanted?
And everyone rolls to the right
Alright?
Can you not tell that the world is slanted?
And everyone rolls to the left
whose left?
Now, who are we fighting for?
Answer to me, or answer to them
With your neck on a knife
and a hand on a pen
And there’s a bad man
a sad man
With his tooth in your skin
Turn your back for a minute
And you’ll let him in
I’m getting older
but I don’t age
everything around me
Always stays the same
all day, every day
All times, at no time
oh, yeah, you caught me
but I’ve caught you on worse
and I know it’s a cliché
but I won’t go away
until you say you love me
again
