paroles de chanson So, How Goes the Good Fight - The Paper Chase feat. John Congleton

This is a little song, a little song about trust

Don't expect me to fight the good fight for you
And don't expect me to quote myself in quips, not for you, not for you
So when exactly, and precisely, did I promise all the world to you?
And there in fact, let's be exact
Who says that you're the one I'd give it to?

I'll take your legs, I'll take your arms
I'll take your breath in the night
Then give away myself in bloody strips and Barbie-doll eyes
Uh-huh, okay, I hope you're proud of yourself

(I hope you're proud of yourself)
(I hope you're proud of yourself)
(I hope you're proud of yourself)
I hope you're proud of yourself

And, oh, "the city's too big," you say, it invents all the fire in you
Meanwhile, I'm burning alive under the flame that it has lit for you
So don't expect me to break this all down for you
And don't expect me to fight the good fight for you

I'll take your legs, I'll take your arms
I'll take your breath in the night
Then give away myself in bloody strips and Barbie-doll eyes

The lips, the hips, eclipsed by the Barbie-doll hands
The lips, the hips, eclipsed by the Barbie-doll eyes
Can't you see what you're doing to me?

Don't expect me

Don't expect me
Don't expect me
Don't expect me
Don't expect me
The pennies in my hand, the scissors on the bed for you
I've got a big surprise for you, the apple in my mouth for you
(I know you'll get what you deserve)
And all these dirty hands that built the ugly things for you
They trigger, jerk, and turn on you
And slide around the neck for you, for you

I know you'll get what you deserve
I know you'll get what you deserve
I know you'll get what you deserve
I know you'll get what you deserve
Alright, alright!

I know you'll get what you deserve
I know you'll get what you deserve
I know you'll get what you deserve
I know you'll get what you deserve
I know you'll get what you deserve
I know you'll get what you deserve
I know you'll get what you deserve
I know you'll get what you deserve
