Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So you give it all
In the world today
You say it's all about the passion
And the wars you wage
I'm not saying I'm one for violence
But it keeps me hanging on
[Verse 2]
It's a casual affair
When everybody loves you
Oh, they'll pay top dollar
Make you wear the dog collar
When everybody loves you
[Verse 3]
I said, I'm not afraid of change
I'm not afraid to lose
They say it's all about the sacrifice
And the weapons you choose
[Verse 4]
Like I said, I'm not one for violence
But it keeps me hanging on
[Verse 5]
It's a casual affair
When everybody loves you
Oh, they'll pay top dollar
Make you wear the dog collar
When everybody loves you
[Verse 6]
It's a casual affair
When everybody loves you
Oh, they'll pay top dollar
Make you wear the dog collar, baby
When everybody loves you
It's a casual affair
When everybody loves you
Oh, they'll pay top dollar, yeah
When everybody loves you
