about

This song is about my personal experience of being people's whipping post.

lyrics

I set
too many fires
everywhere I turn there's nothing left to burn
a little too much mayhem
now its all turned

black and grey and ash
and far too hot to pick up with your hands
don't burn yourself
you'll get a blister like me

I'm afraid I must insist
on getting my own way
In every little thing or there'll be hell to pay

so line on up best you can
and form a que
if you really think the person
who deserves their own way is you

Chorus:
Let's not do something RASH
I'm losing control
give me a slap on the BACK
so I can choke it up whole

Verse 2:
A nasty bit of business that was
now shall we move along
I could do with a break
I get exhausted being

so right, all the time
I never miss a beat
nothing's my fault
get it right and take your blame receipt
