Invite yourself in
Like a bad case of fleas
Parasitic ploy
Fills an obvious need

Set me up!
Cut me down!
Cash me in!
Spit me out!

Thanks— for— nothing!

Stealing the fire
From the unsuspecting freak
Opportune time
To perpetuate the breed

Set me up!
Cut me down!
Cash me in!
Spit me out!

Thanks— for— nothing!

The pressure builds...
The balance sets...
The level tilts...
Thoughts compress!
Try your best, you will
To bury my head in the sand
Keep me lost in the dark
With the promise of a new spark

Played me, drained me
Tried your best to win

Played me, drained me
Drained... dry!

Plowing your way
Through a delicate maze
Crushing the dreams
That a lifetime made

Rest will come easy
As the planets fall in line
Karma piling up
Will catch up in time

Set me up!
Cut me down!
Cash me in!
Spit me out!
Thanks— for— nothing!

Played me, drained me
Tried your best to win

Played me, drained me
Drained... dry!

Sit down!
Sit down!
Sit down!
Sit down!
