VERSE 1

So, how I feel no longer means that much
So long as I maintain my skillful touch
All my words go in one ear and out the other
Without ever even slowing down
You don't care about the way I'm used
As long as the line keeps moving
And I get abused
As long as I bring money in and
They can't tell I'm bruised

CHORUS

I'm through dancing for you
I'm done prancing for your pride
And your entertainment
I need a new arrangement
I think that it's time you felt
Some of the hand you've dealt me
Hit your knees and start your praying
Just so long as they keep paying
Brace yourself, 'cause they say lightning never strikes the same
Place twice, but I've been working on my aim

VERSE 2

So, how's it feel to be the one in chains
You won't last long if any good remains
It's a challenge to be hard enough to make it
And still be soft to the touch outside
Did you take me for some kind of fool
I may be hot merchandise but
I'm nobody's tool
It's time to change the system and
There's just one simple rule
