lyrics

Now I see, I never was the chosen, not the chosen You supposed me to be
A trick on both of us and a stubborn little cuss
It took me more than half, half my life to see the truth of it

In a manner of speaking it is all about etiquette
It’s a long grass and we can’t see what’s in front of us; it’s a mystery
I know You were there to watch me fly
It’s a shame I won’t be there in turn, there in turn to watch You die

You made Your choice, You blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blah
It was Your choice, You blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blah

I ran into the scrum
And You bludgeoned me with crooked thumbs
Blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blah

This time I sorta hope a twister hits
Stuck inside this house with You would be the very pits
Passive aggressive death ray, and yet I definitively desire to stay
But the oxygen that makes me breath will poison, will poison both of us

So it’s MY choice if choice is blahdey blahdey blahdey blah
I made the choice of choosing blahdey blahdey blahdey blah

I am the chosen after all, and I’ll lead us to the final fall

Blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blah

Tell me when, when You see the edge of it
Yes, and then please drive us to the very edge
Emmanuel is straining to see the goal posts ‘cause it’s raining
I’m driving us in circles through the storm and I, I admit I’m lost a bit

It’s Your choice, blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blah
Yes, it’s Your choice blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blah

I am the chosen after all, and I’m here to watch Your empire fall
If You’d like I can watch from the room across the hall

You made Your choice long ago
Blahdey blahdey blah
Long ago You made Your choice
Blahdey blahdey blah

Blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blah

You stand against the wall and fall
I shot You down and now You crawl to me

Blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blah

I am the chosen after all, and I’m here to watch Your empire fall
Blahdey blahdey blahdey blahdey blah Ah Ah!
