So, How Goes the Good Fight

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 (Yeah, yeah, alright, alright, okay!)

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

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 (Yeah, yeah, alright, alright, okay!)

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

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

Alright, alright!

I know you'll get what you deserve
