Gloves Are Off

Oh yeah

Get it, got it going, yeah
Your spotlight is on overload
Round and round and round and round you go
You think you finally got it
Just to give it all your heart and soul
Til' they throw it down and out with your self-control
Oh, oh yeah

And you know it ain't easy
Livin' on the edge of the night
To fight, to run, to gun
Just to see the light of another morning sun
Get ready to run
Get ready to run

It's a passion not to cash in
Out of fashion, notwithstanding no
To be your freak, be your weirdo, be your fa-fanatical
No permission, no perdition
No more trippin, ain't your au du jour
Keep your two cents baby and call someone you owe
Oh, oh yeah

Cuz you know it ain't easy
Livin' on the edge of the knife
Cut deep, the eyes you see
Just to see you fly
Too close to another sun
Get ready to

Run

Hey baby, when I say I wouldn't play
You couldn't wait to turn away but now it's safe to say
I'm runnin' on my come-up
And you know it's fun, to be the one
With a gun, for a tongue, now you're hung
Aqualung, just shut up
Funny how you thought I would have bought
The lies you talk and punched the clock
Gloves are off, you know what's even better?
Ten years gone, ten years strong, ten years long
And still you ain't put a single lyric on a record, no

You know it ain't easy
Get ready to run
Get ready to run
You wish you could be me
Get ready to run
If only so easy
But you know I ain't the one
Get ready to run
Get ready to run

Get ready
Ow!
