[Verse 1]
I got to keep my head down, man, she got a temper
When she lets go, it's going to swing like a wrecking ball
I wouldn't recommend that you try to understand
The beginning or the end, it's gonna take cover, one and all

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a furious game that I don't want to play
The lights are still on, but the folks are away
The tip of a tongue is a dangerous blade

[Chorus]
There ain't no way you can keep on trying
To be all things to everyone
You're swallowing the barrel of a loaded gun
There ain't no way you can keep on trying
To be all things to everyone
Everybody got you on the run
Yeah, they got you on the run

[Verse 2]
I want to take a trip, gonna make a little journey
Gonna travel so far that I can't hear when you call
'Cause I don't want to get stuck in the middle of a rut
Where a thousand little cuts are gonna bleed down upon us all
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a juvenile way that I don't want to know
Spending half of your life getting set to explode
The one that you're on is a dangerous road

[Chorus]
There ain't no way you can keep on trying
To be all things to everyone
You're swallowing the barrel of a loaded gun
There ain't no way you can keep on trying
To be all things to everyone
Everybody got you on the run
They got you on the run

[Bridge]
Trying to be all things to everyone
But you're no good to anyone
So take cover, one and all
I'm gonna swing like a wrecking ball
Swing like a wrecking ball
So take cover, one and all
Take cover, one and all
Swing, it's gonna swing
Swing like a wrecking ball

[Chorus]
There ain't no way you can keep on trying
To be all things to everyone
You're swallowing the barrel of a loaded gun
There ain't no way you can keep on trying
To be all things to everyone
'Cause everybody got you on the run
They got you on the run
[Outro]
So take cover, one and all
Gonna swing like a wrecking ball
