X-Cutioner’s Song Songtext

von BLOC PARTY

Tick-tok, sit it out
I'm at the stage in central park
Don't want your words or apologies
You're gonna pay for it
Pay for it

Take back what you stole
I'm sure you meant it all
The world will see what I can do
This is my legacy
And it starts with you

Because you gave me away
Why?
Because you gave me away
Why?

Burnt flesh
Broken bones
They watch the screens as it unfolds
Let me out so i'm not here
You posed the question
This is my reply
Why'd you think I'd let it go
With your 'yes mens' and pay and all?
Well then i ask you
Are you prepared?

Because you gave me away
Why?
Because you gave me away
Why?

Silly charlie
We caught his fingers in the kitty
Silly charlie
We caught his fingers in the till

Opened up our eyes
Now we see he's playing both sides

Silly charlie
We caught his fingers in the till
