Lyrics
I get down with the victim
I get down with the victim
We both know you need them
We both know you need them
You're stuck in the middle
You're stuck in the middle
Of all irrelevance
Of all irrelevance
And your heart is beating
And your heart is beating
'Cause you know that you gotta
'Cause you know that you gotta
Get out of the middle
Get out of the middle
And rise to the top now
And rise to the top now
When you've made it, won't you tell me what to do?
When you've made it, won't you tell me what to do?
'Cause I'm playin' it all wrong
'Cause I'm playin' it all wrong
When you've made it (when you've made it), won't you tell me what to do?
When you've made it (when you've made it), won't you tell me what to do?
'Cause I'm playin' it all wrong
You can't fight the friction, so, ease it off
You can't fight the friction, so, ease it off
You can't take the pressure, so, ease it off
You can't take the pressure, so, ease it off
Don't tell me to be strong, ease it off
Don't tell me to be strong, ease it off
You can't fight the friction, so, ease it off
And get into the system
And get into the system
We both know you need one
We both know you need one
At the tip of the needle
At the tip of the needle
It's taking over you
It's taking over you
And your heart is beating
'Cause you know that you gotta
Get out of the middle
And rise to the top now
When you've made it, won't you tell me what to do?
'Cause I'm playin' it all wrong
When you've made it (when you've made it), won't you tell me what to do?
'Cause I'm playin' it all wrong
You can't fight the friction, so, ease it off
You can't take the pressure, so, ease it off
Don't tell me to be strong, ease it off
You can't fight the friction, so, ease it off
Oh, why can't you let it go?
Oh, why can't you let it go?
Like a bird in the snow
Like a bird in the snow
This is no place to build your home
This is no place to build your home
You can't fight the friction, so, ease it off
You can't take the pressure, so, ease it off
Don't tell me to be strong, ease it off
You can't fight the friction, so
You can't fight the friction, so
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
