Lyrics

The Way

It happens right before your eyes
But still, it takes you by surprise
You see and watch it on TV
I even saw it on a documentary
Ignorance kills, it's a clash of wills
No panacea's gonna cure your ills
I'm feeling kind of indiscreet
Patience is bitter, its fruit is so sweet

So keep a straight face and look me in the eye
And say you wouldn't take this from any other guy
I haven't got the time to spare
The way you are, is not the way you were

Uninspired, I'm sick and tired
You're hyperactive, totally wired
Stay with me and we could have some fun
After all, we're answerable to no one
Cyber porn from dusk till dawn
Nowhere to hide from the suicide bomb
Outside forces come inside to play
You wouldn't even treat a dog that way

So keep a straight face and look me in the eye
And say you wouldn't take this from any other guy
Besieging castles in the air
The way you are, is not the way you were
The way you are, is not the way you were
The way you are, is not the way you were
The way you are, is not the way you were

So keep a straight face and look me in the eye
And say you wouldn't get this from any other guy
I haven't got the time to spare
The way you are, is not the way you were

So keep a straight face and look me in the eye
And say you wouldn't take this from any other guy
Besieging castles in the air
The way you are, is not the way you were
The way you are, is not the way you were
The way you are, is not the way you were
The way you are, is not the way you were
