It'll get higher when left alone
Authority begs to grow
Obeying silence is all you know
Animals fake control
Is it a story matching faces to words?
And are you banking on a broken girl?
Can you fool her into asking to
Be forgiven? Asking for you?
When it's done
Cause you got
Beat down to the hands of a man
Taking orders from a white coat sideshow freak
Tell me what drove you to this extreme
Was it me? Because
I may have reintroduced the pain
But you know that it's built up since you pushed it away
Oh, and maybe you'll wait another day
You've gotta step back from forcing your lead
Following's killing me
You stand just to compensate a lack of esteem
Standing tall won't mean you're not
Making excuses for thoughts in your head
Take control of a cigarette
When you're moving no one questions your views
You don't have the slightest clue who'll follow you
When it's done
Well, you got
Beat down in the hands of a man
Taking orders from a white coat sideshow freak
Tell me what drove you to this extreme
Was it me? Because
I may have reintroduced the pain
But you know that it's built up since you pushed it away
Oh, and maybe...
(Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh ooh)
(Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Well, laughter's all you hear (Ooh-ooh ooh)
It follows everywhere (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Since you can't run away
You act like it's not there (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
You act like you're not there
You act like you're not there, oh!
Oh, well you got
Beat down in the hands of a man
Taking orders from a white coat sideshow freak
Tell me what drove you to this extreme
Was it me? Because
I may have reintroduced the pain
But you know that it's built up since you pushed it away
Oh, and maybe you'll wait another day
