lyrics

baby, take a look around
and tell me what you see
is this fragile little gutter-rat
what you always wanted to be
tell me you can look at yourself in the mirror
with all the crap that you've given me
I'm done with you
you and your pathetic little fantasy

you're like a bad politician
sayin' anything to get your way
you are a bad politician
sayin' anything to get your way
and maybe if by bringin' me down you're gonna lift yourself out of disarray
I'm sorry son
but that ain't gonna work today

sorry that I'm still around
I know that isn't what you need
but you're not fooling anyone
and you're not fooling me
you're only lying to yourself about this sh*tty bit of treachery
you think you're bringin' me down, bringin' me down,
down to your level
I won't let you keep me down on your level

baby, take a look around
and tell me what you see
you had the chance to walk away
you know you had the chance to let it be
but you're an inconsequential little skeleton of a man with no humility
you think you're bringin' me down, bringin' me down,
down to your level
I won't let you keep me down on your level
