I'm not surprised it's come to this Sooner or later there must be another's kiss Behind that kiss a promise of a life of bliss Yeah, great I won't be takin' the bait I'd rather drown And I will not turn my whole life upside down
Imagine everything you've done Under a microscope on view for everyone And if the King of Circumspection's here He's come in vain I won't be sharing the blame I wear the crown And I will not turn my whole life upside down
Nothing's good enough for me To shake me from complacency I make my mind up and I'll never be
The kind of man who'd make a choice For if I hold my tongue I'll never lose my voice If each attempted act of sabotage destroys all hope I won't be needing a rope I'm gagged and bound And I will not turn my whole life upside down
And if the genie were set free And by the laws of things like that, he's indebted to me I'd bury my three wishes deep down in the ground So I will not turn my whole life upside down
Though I appreciate the aim Tell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his fame I'd only use it to make everything the same again So don't applaud till the end I'm not around Cause I will not turn my whole life upside down
Nothing's good enough for me To shake me from complacency I've made my mind up I won't make a sound And I will not turn my whole life upside down
