The Contract

lyrics

What to do, what to say
Nickel'd and dime'd, it's a slow decay
And it's obvious that I'm bleeding out
Gotta figure out a way that I can wiggle out
Of this contract predicated on a false understanding
A clever clause that has left me stranded
Now I'm just hanging out like a bird on the wire

Yeah, I'm on the wrong side, hell-bound
And I'm not dead but I'm goin' down
And the ground can't reach me fast enough

Shut down the shit communication
Stave off the eminent sorry outcome

Waving dollars in my face
Were you acting in good faith
Sold my soul to be recognized

What to do, what to say
Can't convince you to put the knife away
Said I'm ready to negotiate
But you want your pound of flesh
It's in the contract written just to extract
Blood that you need from me
But that's a fantasy, a fallacy
A clever little clause could never make me lay down

Oh, I'm on the wrong side, hell-bound
And I'm not dead but I'm goin' down
And the ground can't reach me fast enough

Hey, it takes one to know one, baby
Takes one to know one, baby
Takes one to know one, baby
Takes one to know one, baby
Takes one to know one
