Lyrics for Relay

Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch I resent you for being raised right I resent you for being tall I resent you for never getting in any opposition at all I resent you for having each other I resent you for being so short I resent you presenting your life Like a fucking propaganda brochure And I see that you keep trying to beat me And I love to get up in your face But I know that if I hate you for hating me I will have entered the endless rage Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch I resent you for being raised right I resent you for being tall I resent you for never getting any opposition at all I resent you for having each other I resent you for being so sure I resent you presenting your life Like a fucking propaganda brochure And I see that you keep trying to beat me And I love to get up in your face But I know if I hate you for hating me I will have entered the endless race Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch I'm sorry Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch Evil is a relay sport When the one who's burnt Turns to pass the torch I used to go to the Ferris wheel every morning Just to throw my anger out the door
