Asking for It Songtext

von Shinedown

Can I have a moment of your time?
Just a single second so you see that indeed we'll be leaving you behind .
Fall across that line.
Turn it up so you can hear the bells,
Crashing through the clouds as it rain down the drain we know all too well.
It's a living hell.

Careful what you say and who you say it and who you say it to.
Careful what you say and who you say it to.

Maybe you talked too much and you were asking for it!
Asking for it!
Asking!
You can blame bad luck but you were asking for it!
Asking for it!
Asking!

When all is said and done,
You need to tie your tongue,
'cause when you spit on everyone.
You are, you are, you know you're asking for it, asking for it!
Asking!
Caught up in the gutter once again,

Crashing through the mud, throwing lies, cutting ties 'til the sidewalk ends,
And the truth begins.

Power through the point of no return,
Famously deranged, all the same, hope you change, if the worm is gonna turn.
It's none of my concern.
Careful what you say and who you say and who you say it to.
Careful what you say and who you say it to.
Maybe you talked too much and you were asking for it!

Asking for it!
Asking!
You can blame bad luck but you were asking for it!
Asking for it!

Asking!
When all is said and done,

You need to tie your tongue,
'cause when you spit on everyone.
You are, you are, you know you're asking for it, asking for it!
Asking!
You are, you are, you are, you are, you are...
Asking for it.

You are, you are, you are, you are, you are...
Asking for it.
Careful what you say and who you say and who you say it to.
Careful what you say and who you say it to.
Maybe you talked too much and you were asking for it!
Asking for it!
Asking!
You can blame bad luck but you were asking for it!
Asking for it!
Asking!
When all is said and done,
You need to tie your tongue,
'cause when you spit on everyone.
You are, you are, you know you're asking for it, asking for it!
Asking!
You know you're asking for it, asking for it.
You know you're asking for it.
Asking!
