You can have washington iŽll take new jersey
You can have london but i want new york city
I should get providence iŽve got a job now
Los angeles - obvious - thatŽs where you belong now
You can have africa asia australia
As long as you keep your hands off cafe pamplona
We can split germany right down the middle
YouŽd hate it there anyway
Take berlin and well call it even
You can take all of the carry-on baggage
IŽll trade the saskia jokes for the alphabet language
And special occasions weŽll split between parents
Who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends
You call it over and i call you psycho
Significant other?
Just say we were lovers and weŽll call it even
WeŽll call it even
I am the ground zero ex-friend you ordered
Disgused as a hero to get past your borders
I know when iŽm wanted iŽll leave when you ask me to
Mind my own business and speak when iŽm spoken to
I am the tower around which you orbited
I am not proud i am just taking orders
I fall to the groud within moments of impact
I hit back if hit
And attack if attacked
You get route 2 between concord and lexington
I want mass ave from the sqaure to my apartment
And if we should meet through some misunderstanding
Ill be very sweet very patient and forgiving
(now get off my side of the state)
And if we should meet one another in passing
Despite these techniques there is sometimes no avoiding
(there must be some kind of mistake)
WeŽll raise high our white flags and say hi and shake hands
Declaring the land weŽre on unamerican
WeŽll call it even
I am the tower around which you orbited
I am not proud i am just taking orders
I fall to the groud within moments of impact
I hit back if hit
And attack if attacked
I am an accident waiting to happen
IŽm laughing like mad while you strangle the captain
My place may be taken, but make no mistake
From a little black black box i can say without shame
That youŽve lost
Do you know what youŽve lost?
So take whatever youŽd like
IŽll strike like the States on fire
You wonŽt sleep very tight
No hiding
No safe covers
Make your bed and now lie
Just like you always do
You can fake it for the papers but iŽm on to you....
