Lyrics

I haven't time to sympathise With all this nonsense and your lies You are the king of nothing But you shall hold me You've got your finger on the pulse And in my pocket, yes, of course I am the voice of treason But you betrayed me I used up nearly all my luck, I didn't have to try But yesterday is gone, and now I need an alibi If this gets any stranger, things are gonna change 'Cause I can't stand the music, always lying If that's what it takes, I'll do it (I'll do it) I'll keep on right on through it (on through it) If that's what it takes, I'll do it (I'll do it) I'll keep on right on through it (on through it) So, please believe me when I say I wouldn't give the time of day Because then I'd be faking When I could tell the truth Were you abandoned in your youth? Because if not, you will be soon I'm growing tired of waiting For you to say goodbye I used up nearly all my luck, I didn't have to try But yesterday is gone, and now I need an alibi If this gets any stranger, things are gonna change 'Cause I can't stand the music, always lying If that's what it takes, I'll do it (I'll do it) I'll keep on right on through it (on through it) If that's what it takes, I'll do it (I'll do it) I'll keep on right on through it I used up nearly all my luck, I didn't have to try But yesterday is gone, and now I need an alibi If this gets any stranger, things are gonna change 'Cause I can't stand the music, always lying If that's what it takes, I'll do it (I'll do it) I'll keep on right on through it (on through it) If that's what it takes, I'll do it (I'll do it) I'll keep on right on through it (Do-do) Do-do-do-do-do (do-do-do-do-do) Do-do-do-do-do (do-do-do-do-do) Do-do-do-do-do (do-do-do-do-do) Do-do-do-do-do (do-do-do-do-do) Do-do-do-do-do (do-do-do-do-do) Do-do-do-do-do (do-do-do-do-do) Do-do-do-do-do (do-do-do-do-do)
