Gasoline Lollipops - The Wire lyrics

Burn that white flag; I've gone mad. I wouldn't fly that color to save my soul. Was it the fact I was born bad, Or the guidance that I had, that designed me to self-destruct before I'm sold? It's down to the wire. The stakes get higher. I walk through the fire. I'll never tire; Because the key to the brave Is they think they'll be saved, Right up until the day that they're dead and gone. I guess I'm the same; I can't fathom my fate, So I believe my name is the chosen one, And that's my loaded gun. My only weakness lies between me and my woman; She's the only thing worth bein' weak for. If you saw my love for her you might think I was bluffin', but that would only be because you never sought more. Yes, I guess perhaps you really should have thought more On the things that you let your soul be bought for. So, tell me why I should comply With a system that s**s dreams dry. Will it offer me security? How much does it cost? Not much, just my right to be free. It's down to the wire. The stakes get higher. I walk through the fire. I'll never tire; Because the key to the brave Is they think they'll be saved, Right up until the day that they're dead and gone. I guess I'm the same; I can't fathom my fate, So I believe my name is the chosen one, And that's my loaded gun.
