and you say

whenever i buy a lighter in the store

you take it away

i cannot find the ashtray anymore

did you take it away?

smoking is not good for me

it damages my health

if you don't give me nicotine

well

then i ask somebody else

and you say

what you do

is just the way that i wanted you to

and you say

what you see

is not the way that you want me to be

whenever i pour myself a glass of wine

you take it away

the bottle i bought today i cannot find

did you take it away?

drinking is not good for me

it damages my brain

i haven't had a single drop

and it's driving me insane

that you say

what you do

is just the way that i wanted you to

and you say

what you see

is not the way that you want me to be

whenever i get some change from anywhere

you take it away

i'm loving my little bankbook

you don't care

you take it away

money is not good for me

it damages my soul

you take away my piggy bank

and dig it in a hole

and you say.
