Chorus: La la la la la la la love La la la la la la la love Sit back & savour the red Don't worry about what it was that you said No, just shut up & take what you can get Verse III: You've always claimed to be among the maimed society's shamed Bent bound & framed in the sin you wade in So what if you scorched your fortune well I still don't think torture's Somethin worth simulatin You're constantly mismatchin The disease that you got with the one that you're catchin You can't keep goin around scratchin Anybody who wasn't exactly how you'd imagined Your situations babe are the kind that dogs dream of Chorus: La la la la la la la love La la la la la la la love Sit back & savour the red Your future ain't over just yet So don't worry about what it was that you said No, just shut up & take what you can get Verse IV: Princess of the plebs & the paupers hailing from some other World where you wouldn't have to deny her Inflence & your flight from wealth but babe you gotta be yourself Not just someone you happen to admire Your biggest mistake Is the way that you hesitate You couldn't expect me to wait For you to finally rise up & wake & wonder what it was you were dreaming of Chorus: La la la la la la la love La la la la la la la love Sit back & savour the red Don't worry about what it was that you said Your future ain't over just yet No so shut up & take what you can get
