Sometimes the truth is hard to swallow
But you could choke to death on your pride
Did you think you might be the reason?
Can you go to bed with your lies?
You should know that you're fighting for nothing
When deep down you're just looking for something
You keep giving up the third degree
But you don't stand a chance if you're messin' with me
All this time you've been givin' the run around
Spreading it around, it's running you out of town
You keep giving up the third degree
Well, you don't stand a chance if you're messin' with me

You're playing king in your ivory tower
It doesn't matter what happens to us
Well, if this is your best, then you've got what you wanted
You can take what's left, and have fun by yourself
You should know that you're fighting for nothing
When deep down you're just looking for something
You keep giving up the third degree
But you don't stand a chance if you're messin' with me
All this time you've been givin' the run around
Spreading it around, it's running you out of town
You keep giving up the third degree
Well, you don't stand a chance if you're messin' with me

So long, just so long
To everyone that you've wronged
Cause it's not gonna work
No it never works on me, or anyone
You should know, you're fighting for nothing
When deep down you know you're looking for something
You keep giving up the third degree
But you don't stand a chance if you're messin' with me
All this time you've been givin' the run around
Spreading it around, it's running you out of town
