Sagitaire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These are the things I can do without, come on
I'm talking to you, come on
I violent times you shouldn't have to sell your soul
In black and white they really, really ought to know
Those one track minds that took you for a working boy
Kiss them goodbye
You shouldn't have to
Shout, shout let it all out
These are the things I can do without, come on
I'm talking to you, come on
They gave you life and in return you gave them hell
As cold as ice, I hope we live to tell the tale
I hope we live to tell the tale
Shout, shout let it all out
These are the things I can do without, come on
I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout let it all out
These are the things I can do without, come on
I'm talking to you, come on
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind I'd really like to
Break your heart I'd really like to shake your heart
Shout, shout let it all out
These are the things I can do without, come on
I'm talking to you, come on
Shout, shout let it all out
These are the things I can do without, come on
I'm talking to you, come on
