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
