Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What will grow crooked you can't make straight
It's the price that you gotta pay
Do yourself a favor and pack your bags
Buy a ticket and get on the train, buy a ticket and get on the train
[Verse 2]
'Cause this is fucked up, fucked up
'Cause this is fucked up, fucked up
[Verse 3]
People get crushed like biscuit crumbs
And laid down in the bitumen
You have tried your best to please everyone
But it just isn't happenin', no, it just isn't happenin'
[Verse 4]
And that is fucked up, fucked up
Well, this is fucked up, fucked up
This is your blind spot, blind spot
It should be obvious but it's not
[Verse 5]
You cannot kick start a dead horse
You just cross yourself and walk away
I don't care what the future holds 'cause I'm right here and I'm today
With your fingers you can touch me
[Verse 6]
I am your black swan, black swan
(But I made it to the top, but I made it to the top)
And this is fucked up, fucked up
(But I made it to the top, but I made it to the top)
Be your black swan, black swan
(But I made it to the top, but I made it to the top)
And for spare parts, we're broken up
[Verse 7]
You are fucked up, fucked up
This is fucked up, fucked up
We are black swans, black swans
And for spare parts, we're broken up
