Someone Else Will
Del Amitri
I ain't gonna laugh at this no more
Or let it just slip by
I ain't gonna watch this 'til I choke on the lie
I ain't gonna take this anymore
I ain't sitting quiet
You can tranquilize my mind with phony hope
But I don't buy it, no I don't buy it
'Cause you will kill me when you have to
And you will tie me to the table
And you will tell me that you don't want to,
But if you don't, you know someone else will
And I ain't gonna listen anymore
Obedient and polite
And I ain't letting killers so like me sleep tonight
And I ain't gonna play my part no more
Their sentence, it ain't right
'Cause you can think you're free, but I'll leave you
To serve my time, serve my time
'Cause you will kill me when you have to
And you will tie me to the table
And you will tell me that you don't want to,
But if you don't, you know someone else will
You know someone else will
