The Tradition (Live)

[Verse 1] Oh, the loneliest girl in town Is bought for pennies a price We dress her up in lovely gowns She's easy on the eyes Her soul is black and it's a fact That her sneer will eat you alive And the buyer always brings her back Because all she does is cry [Chorus] So take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn Ask for forgiveness, never permission Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't givе a damn It's in the blood and this is tradition Ooh-ooh [Verse 2] Oh, the loneliеst girl in town Was bought for plenty a price Well, they dress her up in golden crowns His smile hides a lie She smiles back, but it's a fact That her fear will eat her alive Well, she got the life that she wanted But now all she does is cry [Chorus] Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn Ask for forgiveness, never permission Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn It's in the blood and this is tradition [Bridge] You can't take it back, it's good as gone Flesh amnesiac, this is your song And I hope what's left will last all summer long And they said that boys were boys, but they were wrong [Chorus] Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn Ask for forgiveness, never permission Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn It's in the blood and this is tradition Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn Ask for forgiveness, never permission Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn It's in the blood and this is tradition [Outro] It's good as gone
