I See Red
Back in my school days acting the fool boysOne and one and one made threeAnd the man said come and cut yourself a piece of the big time.Armour-clad forces riding trojan horsesNever made sense to meI didnât wanna be a part of the great debate on moonshine.âStop, pay the priceâ, they said to me, âtake this advice:Youâre out of your headâStop, hold the âphone -- this has to be cut to the boneToo bad -- I see redI see red. I see red.She slips and stumbles, twists and she tumblesShe always lands on her feetAnd she keeps her face turned to the far horizon.Wonât you come this way -- wonât you go my wayHer rhythm doesnât miss a beatSheâs just doinâ everything she can to keep surviving.âStop, pay the priceâ, she said to me, âtake this advice:Youâre out of your headâStop, hold the âphone -- this has to be cut to the boneToo bad -- I see red.I see red. I see red. Yeah.Now who wants a riot -- people should be quietDonât we give âem good TVYou can learn to love a lifetime of distraction.Youâve got nothinâ on the inside, nothinâ on the outsideSongtexteAll the way from A to BI can live without that kind of satisfaction.âStop, pay the priceâ, she said to me, âtake this advice:Youâre out of your headâStop, hold the âphone -- this has to be cut to the boneToo bad -- I see redI see red. I see red. I see red. Yeah.(fade and repeat)I see redI see redYou make me see redYes I see redI see redI see red.
