Say something clever

If you're conscious still

Cause you know hearing bad news

Gives me such a special thrill

I'm not here to save you

Watch your back or rearrange you

I don't know

Even so

I wouldn't take on this

Oh no



And I don't know how

You can wear me down

In the blink of an eye

If I could just hold my ground

For a tenth of the time



Make me an offer

I can really use

A one time factory clearance that I can't refuse

I'm not here to save you

Watch your back

Or rearrange you

And nothing ever changes

You're still cynical and dangerous

I don't know

Even so

I wouldn't take on you

Oh no



And I don't know how

You can wear me down

In the blink of an eye

If I could just hold my ground

Even half of the time



You never get the point so what's the use

I'd never take that tone of voice with you

We both know that that's not really true



No one's going to save you

Cause they can't rearrange you

And nothing ever changes

You're cynical and dangerous



So now you just wear me down

In the blink of an eye

If I could just hold my ground

For a tenth of the time



So go ahead, wear me down

I'm lost, not found

You got me so tied and bound

I'm not quite sound



You're wearing me down

Quit wearing me down
