You walk to me with that look in your eye
Like you can’t stand the sight of me, time after time
You’re walking up to me with the pride of a man
Who’s fought against the world with his dick in his hand
He needs to be free
He just needs a friend
Well, the motor’s still running
But the brakes are long dead
She stares me down, just with hate in her mind
Wishing she’d never let me out of her weakened eye
Never stood for all the shit that I put her through
Never stayed inside the place that I took her to
Said, “I’ll never be
Indebted to you.
Just wash down this pillâ€"
That’s what you should do.”
All better
Now I’m walking up to you with a rock in my hand
Saying, “Get down on your knees now, and try to understand:
I’m walking out the door with your hate on my hands,
And I’ll drive so far away you’ll never see me again.
You put bricks on my back,
But I chose to stand.
Now I step on the gas
And the circus leaves town
Forever.”
