I See Red

Back in my school days acting the fool boys



One and one and one made three



And the man said come and cut yourself a piece of the big time.







Armour-clad forces riding trojan horses



Never made sense to me



I didn't wanna be a part of the great debate on moonshine.







ÔÇ˙Stop, pay the price', they said to me, ÔÇ˙take this advice:



You're out of your head'



Stop, hold the ÔÇ˙phone -- this has to be cut to the bone



Too bad -- I see red



I see red. I see red.







She slips and stumbles, twists and she tumbles



She always lands on her feet



And she keeps her face turned to the far horizon.







Won't you come this way -- won't you go my way



Her rhythm doesn't miss a beat



She's just doin' everything she can to keep surviving.







ÔÇ˙Stop, pay the price', she said to me, ÔÇ˙take this advice:



You're out of your head'



Stop, hold the ÔÇ˙phone -- this has to be cut to the bone



Too bad -- I see red.



I see red. I see red. Yeah.







Now who wants a riot -- people should be quiet



Don't we give ÔÇ˙em good TV



You can learn to love a lifetime of distraction.







You've got nothin' on the inside, nothin' on the outside



All the way from A to B



I can live without that kind of satisfaction.







ÔÇ˙Stop, pay the price', she said to me, ÔÇ˙take this advice:



You're out of your head'



Stop, hold the ÔÇ˙phone -- this has to be cut to the bone



Too bad -- I see red



I see red. I see red. I see red. Yeah.







(fade and repeat)



I see red



I see red



You make me see red



Yes I see red



I see red



I see red.
