You've got your stripped-back soundtrack, Banging on the bedroom wall And if the wolf-pack falls back Dodging every chance of a brawl A violent cocktail, exhale Using every trick in the book A little telltale blackmail Missing with the jabs and the hooks And if you came back to settle the score What's a boy to do What's a boy to do And as the vultures circle the corpse Well it's nothing new It's nothing new So where's the backbone de-throne Everyone that gets in the way A little homegrown cyclone Blowing all the rivals away Somewhere inside your mind You're taking every chance to progress You'll never fall behind Just blocking all the shots to the chest But if you came back to settle the score What's a boy to do What's a boy to do And as the vultures circle the corpse Well it's nothing new It's nothing new But if you came back to settle the score What's a boy to do What's a boy to do And as the vultures circle the corpse Well it's nothing new It's nothing new Stand tall and give it all you've got Do the vultures keep you in a state of war Stand tall and give it all you've got Do the vultures keep you in a state of war
