"Asking For It"

"Asking For It"

Threat to Survival

Can I have a moment of your time?

Just a single second so you see

That indeed, we'll be leaving you behind

Far across that line

Turn it up so you can hear the bells

Crashing through the clouds as it rain

Down the drain, we know all too well

It's a living hell

Pre-Chorus:

Careful what you say, and who you say

And who you say it to

Careful what you say and who you say it to

CHORUS::

Baby, you talked too much and

You were asking for it

Asking for it, asking

You can blame bad luck

But you were asking for it

Asking for it, asking

When all is said and done

You need to tie your tongue

Cuz when you spit on everyone

You are, you are

You know you're asking for it

Asking for it, asking

Caught up in the gutter once again

Thrashing through the mud

Throwing lies, cutting ties

Until the sidewalk ends

And the truth begins

Power through the point of no return

Famously deranged, all the same, hope you change

If that world's gonna turn

It's none of my concern

Pre-Chorus:

CHORUS::

You are, you are, you are you are, you are

Asking for it

You are, you are, you are you are, you are

Asking for it

Pre-Chorus:

CHORUS::

You know you're asking for it

Asking for it

You know you're asking for it

Asking
