For the Sake of a Lion
from Colorfornia by Jet City Crawl
lyrics
Unimaginative
passive aggressive
take and never give
that’s no way to live
You don’t hesitate
to leave it up to fate
Well cancel the date
’cause there’s nothin’ left to say
There’s nothin’ left to do
If you had your way
you’d make me walk through fire for you
Liar, liar
pants on fire
Dire, dire
you’re uninspired
You’re over-the-hill
and think you’ve got it still
But you’re just roadkill
next to Jack and Jill
boy, you don’t look so good
You think I won’t but I will
’cause I always knew I would
Just because it’s cold outside
doesn’t mean that it’s snowing
Just because the world knows you
doesn’t mean you’re worth knowing
You got your paycheck
I got a broken neck
Gee, what the heck
You’d better hit the deck
The truth is hard dear but
you’re gonna hear it
I’ve got a winning spirit
and you will learn to fear it
Why don’t you apologize
You left me there to die
with all your little white lies
I got a loaded gun
aimed at you son
It can’t be undone
This ought to be fun
So go and pitch a fit
I hope you choke on it
Your love is non-descript
Your hands are ill-equipped
to hold onto mine
You sacrificed a lamb
for the sake of a lion
passive aggressive
take and never give
that’s no way to live
You don’t hesitate
to leave it up to fate
Well cancel the date
’cause there’s nothin’ left to say
There’s nothin’ left to do
If you had your way
you’d make me walk through fire for you
Liar, liar
pants on fire
Dire, dire
you’re uninspired
You’re over-the-hill
and think you’ve got it still
But you’re just roadkill
next to Jack and Jill
boy, you don’t look so good
You think I won’t but I will
’cause I always knew I would
Just because it’s cold outside
doesn’t mean that it’s snowing
Just because the world knows you
doesn’t mean you’re worth knowing
You got your paycheck
I got a broken neck
Gee, what the heck
You’d better hit the deck
The truth is hard dear but
you’re gonna hear it
I’ve got a winning spirit
and you will learn to fear it
Why don’t you apologize
You left me there to die
with all your little white lies
I got a loaded gun
aimed at you son
It can’t be undone
This ought to be fun
So go and pitch a fit
I hope you choke on it
Your love is non-descript
Your hands are ill-equipped
to hold onto mine
You sacrificed a lamb
for the sake of a lion
