Every Dog Has His Day (Acoustic) Lyrics

you walk the walk, you talk the talk
you even act the part but even the blind can see right through you
this time around find higher ground and brace yourself for battle
you bit off more than you could ever chew

the time is now, you fucking clown
you picked a bad time to go down town
swallow your pride and take the fall

yes, I just want to be there when you go down
as your structure collapses and control decays,
the cries and the screams are a wonderful sound
as you run for cover, you fall to the ground
and you look at my face (you got nobody now)
I just want to be there so I can shout, "you're going down!"

(you're going down)

you have your cake and eat it too, too bad I know what's in it
I hope you choke on every fucking piece you eat
you think I'm unaware, but that just goes to show you
I'm more perceptive than you'll ever be

and every night you'll see your face in the mirror
and you'll think twice next time she comes running over

yes, I just want to be there when you go down
as your structure collapses and control decays,
the cries and the screams are a wonderful sound
as you run for cover, you fall to the ground
and you look at my face (you got nobody now)
I just want to be there so I can shout...

shake my hand, smile to my face
I'll do the same but we'll both know that it's a sinister charade
every dog will have his day but you had yours long ago
so don't expect my sympathy

yes, I just want to be there when you go down
as your structure collapses and control decays,
the cries and the screams are a wonderful sound
as you run for cover, you fall to the ground
and you look at my face (you got nobody now)
I just want to be there, yes I just want to be there
I just want to be there so I can shout, "you're going down!"
