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
