lyrics

A: Can I ask you something?
Let’s cut to the chase.
I’d like to make an offer
To wipe the smirk right off his face.

B: Your cards are on the table.
We all know what you want.
You don’t have to hide it.
But oh you sure know how to flaunt.

A: Let it pay.
B: Look away.
A: Let it rain.
B: I abstain.

B: We understand your motives
And how you bent the rules.
It might be smart to mention
Just why you couldn’t keep your cool.

A: Take it back.
B: It’s a fact.
A: You beware.
B: I don’t care.

Chorus:
B: You lie.
Say your goodbyes.
Uncross your eyes.
‘Cause you lost what was right in front of you.
You really don’t know.
I’ve got to go.
Dear friend or foe,
I know a bribe when I see one.

A: You know this isn’t over.
There’s plenty left to come.
I sure hope that’s it’s different.
‘Cause playing chicken won’t be any fun.

B: It’s not that I’m a coward.
I thought that I’d explained.
That’s right, you’re hard of hearing.
But that’s not why you look so strained.

A: Hey wait up.
Take this cup.
Soon you’ll be.
Far from me.
