Lyrics

Don't count on me, I engineer

On every move we make from here

I'll take the lead

You take the pain

You see, I engineered this game

Who do you think you fool when you talk about us?

Why do you walk on glass when you know it cuts?

There must be a reason why

You put my life in overdrive

I'm up to here with push and shove

From here on in, I've had enough

Don't count on me, I engineer

On every move we make from here

I'll take the lead

You take the pain

You see, I engineered this game

I'll leave it all behind in a cloud of dust

There's an even chance I'll shine or rust

On my own I've got the time

There's a light ahead at the end of the line

Seeing you leaves me no doubt

I'll take the wheel from here on out

Don't count on me, I engineer

On every move we make from here

I'll take the lead

You take the pain

You see, I engineered this game

On my own I've got the time

Oh, there's a light ahead at the end of the line

Seeing you leaves me no doubt

I'll take the wheel from here on out

Don't count on me, I engineer

On every move we make from here

I'll take the lead

You take the pain

You see, I engineered

Don't count on me, I engineer

On every move we make from here

I'll take the lead

You take the pain

You see, I engineered

Don't count on me, I engineer

On every move we make from here

I'll take the lead

You take the pain

You see, I engineered
