They’re Gonna Get You

Hey!

You will not last long in this world if you go wrong

There’s always someone around who will kick when you’re down

They’ll tear you apart they will crush you from the start

They will look in side your head until all your thoughts are dead.

You can run and hide until you wake inside but they’re gonna get you.

You can always tell when you’re on your way to hell

You can feel it getting hot, you can smell their toothpaste plot (not sure about those last 2 words!)

But don’t let them get you down ‘cause they’ll always stick around

They’ll pretend to be your friend but they’ll hate you in the end.

You can run and hide until you wake inside but they’re gonna get you

They’re gonna get you.

They’re gonna get you in the end

They’re gonna stretch you till you bend

Look out!

They’re gonna get you in the end

They’re gonna stretch you till you bend.

They will tell you packs of lies and they’ll let you fantasise

Until one day you’re alright and that’s when you’ll realise

You can run and hide until you wake inside but they’re gonna get you

They’re gonna get you.

They’re gonna get you.
