lyrics

I'm not gonna be your punching bag or your machine,
That you wind up just to chase you round the room,
You think that you're the leader the first one to make the move,
But you always give yourself away too soon,
And you're claim to fame is cheated,
When you've traded all you needed,
For a hot spot in the market on the avenue,
Didn't you?

I'm just trying to see the fleeting moments as they move,
But they always seem to come to end too soon,
You speak like you're a victim but its in the words you choose,
In a world where all the paths are lain for you,
And it's you who has been cheated,
when you trade all you needed,
For a lie on sale that you bought thinking it was truth,
Didn't you?

Didn't you?
Didn't you?
