Lyrics for Dine N'Dash
Do what you will, you can leave when you want Leave if you want, but I bet that you won't I see your problem, and it's nothing to hide Find any sailor with that look in his eye Opening up, but there's no one that really cares Mistook the words of a wise man who once said "The birds of a feather die together" We could never afford it We would dine and dash I would always go last No one gonna search me tonight And I would give you the easy way out It's going great I will not surrender Something in my brain I will not defend thеm Lies you told today Fighting for the future Watch thе witches burn I cannot defend them Permission to speak? Permission to launch? Permission to sit? Permission to die? I sit him down, I tie him up I beat it out of him, alright I beat his brains 'til they're in the floor Until his family mourns I'd shoot him now if he was here I'd slit his throat from ear to ear But I have sworn a life of peace How can I reconcile this beast? We could never afford it So we dine and dash I would always go last No one gonna search me tonight And I would give you the easy way out We could never afford it We would dine and dash I would always go last No one gonna search me tonight And I would give you the easy way out Say, say what you want, it's fine One at a time, we're born Nothing is off the table anymore Life, life isn't what they taught Oh shit, I'm out of ammo One in a million, for sure Say, I think I'm prejudiced 'Cause I don't like your face Over time, I'll accept it, though I guess, just like an animal is that okay? I know Say you want it, say you want it I think that's— I think that's the minimum soft And you go harder if you want but that's the minimum soft
