Oh, to get ahead in this world,
|
Takes a lot of kind words,
|
And ruthless damning actions,
|
And I hope, I never have to hurt you,
|
Though I gladly will do, my friend.
|
|
And I'll be reading in the kitchen,
|
Sipping lazy cups of tea,
|
I won't be brooding in my bedroom,
|
With the shutters down on me,
|
|
And this song is not cathartic,
|
Because I've done nothing wrong,
|
It's just a song,
|
It's just a song.
|
|
Ah, you see the more you're trying,
|
The more I know you're lying,
|
The more I start to hate the sight of you,
|
Tell me what you would do?
|
Pulled by both arms, nearly torn in two.
|
|
And I'll be reading in the kitchen,
|
Sipping lazy cups of tea,
|
I won't be crying in my bedroom,
|
With the covers over me,
|
|
And this song is not cathartic,
|
Because I've done nothing wrong,
|
It's just a song,
|
It's just a song.
|
|
And I'll be reading in the kitchen,
|
Sipping lazy cups of tea,
|
I won't be brooding in my bedroom,
|
With the shutters down on me,
|
|
And this song is not cathartic,
|
Because I've done nothing wrong,
|
It's just a song,
|
It's just a song.
|
|
It's just a song,
|
It's just a song.
