  • Do what you will, you can leave when you want
    Leave if you want, but I bet that you won't
    I see your problem, and it's nothing to hide
    Find any sailor with that look in his eye
    Opening up, but there's no one that really cares

    Mistook the words of a wise man who once said
    "The birds of a feather die together"

    We could never afford it
    We would dine and dash
    I would always go last
    No one gonna search me tonight
    I would give you the easy way out

    It's going great

    I will not surrender
    Something in my brain
    I will not defend them
    Lies you told today
    Fighting for the future
    Watch the witches burn
    I cannot defend them

    Permission to speak?
    Permission to launch?
    Permission to sit?
    Permission to die?

    I sit him down, I tie him up
    I beat it out of him, alright
    I beat his brains out 'til they're in the floor
    Until his family mourns
    I'd shoot him now if he was here
    I'd slit his throat from ear to ear
    But I have sworn a life of peace
    How can I reconcile this beast?

    We could never afford it
    So we dine and dash
    I would always go last
    No one gonna search me tonight
    I would give you the easy way out

    We could never afford it
    Oh, we'd dine and dash
    I would always go last
    No one gonna search up tonight
    I would give you the easy way out

    Say, say what you want, it's fine
    One at a time, we're born
    Nothing is off the table anymore
    Life, life isn't what they taught
    Oh, shit, I'm out of ammo
    One in a million, for sure

    Say, I think I'm prejudiced
    'Cause I don't like your face
    Over time, I'll accept it, though
    I guess, just like an animal is that okay? I know
    Say you want it, say you want it

    (I think that's- I think that's the minimum soft)
    (And you go harder if you want but that's the minimum soft) Writer/s: Julian Casablancas
