Lyrics

   If we stand here shaking much more
   We're gonna come apart, split in half,
   You're telling me don't want no more
   'Cos my head's up my ass,
   I watch my world through a glass,
   I'm just a crazy tired shape from your past...

   You say it's love that you need,
   But it's war that you've got...
   That you want to live your life and to have
   Not to have not,
   Better wise up and face my lot;
   She loves me not
   She loves me, she loves me not
   She loves me, she loves me not
   She loves me, she loves me not
   Wise up sucker to what you've got

   I'm freakin' and you couldn't care less,
   I got the deep down crazies;
   Trying to get my head round this mess.
   At the sound of the bell
   An act you know so well,
   You give me sixteen different flavours of hell

   You say it's love that you need,
   But it's war that you've got...
   That you want to live your life and to have
   Not to have not,
   Better wise up and face my lot;
   She loves me not
   She loves me, she loves me not
   She loves me, she loves me not
   She loves me, she loves me not
   Wise up sucker to what you've got

   Wise up! sucker, see the sights-
   Taking your ass for a ride, Wise up! Wise up!
