On The Take Again

You're always on the back of others
there's no one here
to back you up
put on a smile get out of my face
and when you're gone
I'll have fun all the time
it's fucking ace

is this the way it has to be?
you keep yourself to yourself
this is often what they say
put on your boots
get up on their case
and when they're gone
you'll have fun all the time
it's fucking ace

you're on the take again
and if I didn't know you better,
I would try it again
