the way things are

i wouldn't know what to do with another chance

if you gave it to me

i couldn't take the embrace of a real romance

it's race right through me

i'm much better off the way things are

much much better if

better by far

by far

i wouldn't know what to say to a gentle voice

it'd roll right past me

and if you chalk it up you'll see i don't really have a choice

so don't even ask me

i'm much better off

the way things are

much much better off

better by far

so keep on calling me names

keep on

keep on

and i'll keep kicking the crap till it's gone

if you keep on killing

you could get me to settle

and as soon as i settle

i bet i'll be

able to move on

how can i fight

when we're on the same side

how can i fight beside you

so keep on calling me names

keep on

keep on

ans i'll keep on kicking the crap will it's gone

if you keep on killing

you could get me to settle

and as soon as i settle

i bet i'll be

able to move on

so keep on callng me names

keep on

keep on

and i'll keep kicking the crap till it's gone

if you keep on killing

you could get me to settle

and as soon as i settle

i bet i'll be

able to move on
