Lyrics

Choice In the Matter

[Verse 1]

Skip the cloak and dagger bit

Don't you know we're sick of it?

As much as I would like to stay

The message light just blinks away

And while I'm here you won't push play

[Chorus]

So you leave me no choice in the matter

(In the matter)

You leave me no choice in the matter

(In the matter)

You leave me no choice in the matter

[Verse 2]

You leave me no option to indulge in this

Exercise in cowardice

Ignorance without the bliss

[Chorus]

'Cause you leave me no choice in the matter

(In the matter)

You leave me no choice in the matter

(In the matter)

You leave me no choice in the matter

You leave me no ...

[Verse 3]

'Cause I know where this boat will go

(Choice in the matter)

Pulled down by the undertow

(Choice in the matter)

It's lucky I know how to row

[Bridge]

So row, row, row your boat gently down the stream

I hope you drown and never come back

[Chorus]

'Cause you leave me no choice in the matter

(In the matter)

You leave me no choice in the matter

(In the matter)

You leave me no choice in the matter

You leave me no ...
