Lyrics

Lessen The Damage

When you crossed me you didn't know what you had done
A chain reaction happened and it's too late to run
You look at me, I look at you
And you know what I'm gonna do
When I see red, I go
And the serotonin will flow
And there's no bandage to lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
'Cause the wicked don't ever end
And I give as good as I get
You've got no advantage to lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
When I find my target I will point and shoot
Hit you where it hurts now Don't you try to move
You look at me, I look at you
And you know what I'm gonna do
When I see red, I go
And the serotonin will flow
And there's no bandage to lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
'Cause the wicked don't ever end
And I give as good as I get
You've got no advantage to lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
Leave her, don't touch her
Let me be the one to destruct her
Leave her, don't touch her
Let me be the one to destruct her
Leave her, don't touch her
Let me be the one to destruct her
Leave her, don't touch her
Let me be the one to destruct her
When I see red, I go
And the serotonin will flow
And there's no bandage to lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
'Cause the wicked don't ever end
And I give as good as I get
You've got no advantage to lessen the damage
Lessen the damage
