Idiot

From Voltage Controlled Body Music2010

Lyrics

Idiot

[Verse 1]

A sun-lit sky, a winter night

A watchful eye with perfect sight

Simplicities which underlie

Complexities that multiply

[Pre-Chorus]

I wish it made a difference, I wish it made a difference

I wish it made a difference (I wish it, I wish it)

I wish it made a difference, I wish it made a difference

I wish it made a difference (Idiot)

[Verse 2]

The truest friend, the test of time

The guiding hand, a simple mind

A mother's love, a father's care

And anyone, who's anywhere!

[Pre-Chorus]

I wish it made a difference! I wish it made a difference!

I wish it made a difference! (I wish it, I wish it)

I wish it made a difference! I wish it made a difference!

I wish it made a difference!

[Chorus]

Did it ever dawn on you

That you've been ​talking to yourself? (Idiot)

It might be time to can that wine

And put the damn thing on the shelf (Idiot)

Regret, forgive, forget, all lined up in a queue (Idiot)

Wish this could make a difference, sucker

It's up to you

It's up to you! (Idiot!)

It's up to you! (Idiot!)

It's up to you! (Idiot!)

It's up to you!

[Verse 3]

A lover's kiss and sorrow's song

The subtle bliss won't last too long

Complexities behind her eyes

He wishes he could simplify

[Pre-Chorus]

I wish it made a difference! I wish it made a difference!

I wish it made a difference! (I wish I, I wish I)

I wish it made a difference! I wish it made a difference!

I wish it made a difference!

[Chorus]

Did it ever dawn on you

That you've been ​talking to yourself? (Idiot)

It might be time to can that wine

And put the damn thing on the shelf (Idiot)

Regret, forgive, forget, all lined up in a queue (Idiot)

Wish this could make a difference, sucker

It's up to you

It's up to you! (Idiot!)

It's up to you! (Idiot!)

It's up to you! (Idiot!)

It's up to you!

[Bridge]

Your such a fool, It's up to you

Your such a fool, It's up to you

Your such a fool, It's up to you

Your such a fool, It's up to you

Your such a fool, It's up to you

Your such a fool, It's up to you (Idiot!)

Your such a fool, It's up to you

Your such a fool, It's up to you

Your such a fool, It's up to you (Idiot!)

Your such a fool, It's up to you

Your such a fool, It's up to you

It's up to you, It's up to you

[Chorus]

Did it ever dawn on you

That you've been ​talking to yourself? (Idiot)

It might be time to can that wine

And put the damn thing on the shelf (Idiot)

Regret, forgive, forget, all lined up in a queue (Idiot)

Wish this could make a difference, sucker

It's up to you

It's up to you! (Idiot!)

It's up to you! (Idiot!)

It's up to you! (Idiot!)

It's up to you!

[Outro]

(Idiot!)

(Idiot!)

(Idiot!)

It's up to you! (Idiot!)
