Lyrics

I knew all along

That I was right at the start

About the seeds of the weeds

That grew in your heart

Self-satisfaction for these factions

Who formed to tear us apart

Well I gave you the Midas touch

Oh, you turned 'round and scratched out my heart

Oh, what did you expect?

Oh, tell me, what did you expect?

To lay it on my head

So is it all upon my head?

Bang, bang you're dead

Always so easily lead

Bang, bang you're dead

Put all the rumours to bed

Bang, bang you're dead

I knew all along

But I was loathe to believe

There was nothing but spite, fury and lies

Of the words that you weave

An illusion to a conclusion

And oh it's oh so tawdry

When you put it to bed kick it in the head

Oh, won't they just let it be?

Bang, bang you're dead

Always so easily lead

Bang, bang you're dead

Put all the rumours to bed

Bang, bang you're dead

Oh, what did you expect?

Oh, tell me, what did you expect?

To lay it on my head

So, is it all upon my head?

Bang, bang you're dead

Always so easily lead

Bang, bang you're dead

Put all the rumours to bed

Bang, bang you're dead

Bang, bang, bang, bang you're dead

Oh, you're dead
