Truce

[Verse 1] You can have Washington, I'll take New Jersey You can have London but I want New York City I should get Providence, I've got a job now Los Angeles, obvious That's where you belong now [Verse 2] You can have Africa, Asia, Australia As long as you keep your hands off Cafe Pamplona We can split Germany right down the middle But you'd hate it there, anyway Take Berlin and we'll call it even [Verse 3] You can have all of the carry-on baggage I'll trade the Saskia jokes for the alphabet language And special occasions we’ll split between parents Who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends [Verse 4] You call it over and I call you psycho Significant other? Just say we were lovers and we'll call it even We'll call it even [Bridge] I am the Ground Zero, ex-friend you ordered Disguised as a hero to get past your borders I know when I'm wanted I'll leave if you ask me to Mind my own business and speak when I'm spoken to [Refrain] I am the tower around which you orbited I am not proud I am just taking orders I fall to the ground within hours of impact I hit back when hit And attack when attacked [Verse 5] You get Route 2 between Concord and Lexington I want Mass. Ave. from the Square to my apartment And if we should meet through some misunderstanding I'll be very sweet, very patient and forgiving (Now get off my side of the state) [Verse 6] And if we should see one another in passing Despite these techniques there is sometimes no avoiding (There must be some kind of mistake) [Verse 7] We'll raise high our white flags and bow heads and shake hands Declaring the land we're on un-American We'll call it even We'll call it even [Refrain] I am the tower around which you orbited I am not proud I am just taking orders I fall to the ground within hours of impact I hit back when hit And attack when attacked And I am an accident waiting to happen I'm laughing like mad as you strangle the captain My place may be taken, but make no mistake From a little black box I can say without shame That you've lost That you've lost Do you know what you've lost? [Breakdown] So take whatever you'd like I'll strike like the States on fire You won't sleep very tight No hiding No safe covers Make your bed and now lie Just like you always do You can fake it for the papers but I'm onto you I'm onto you So take whatever you'd like I'll strike like the States on fire You won't sleep very tight No hiding No safe covers Make your bed and now lie Just like you always do You can fake it for the papers but I'm onto you I'm onto you I'm onto you I'm onto you [Outro] Amanda, you're telling me a fairytale
