Playing With Fire

You made up your mind
You decided to reject us
Failed to respect us

Or give us the chance
To be people that you wanted
As friends to flaunt with

When did you think that your looks and your ego
Could help you to justify acting so evil?
The way that you go round and seek to belittle
Now is this the person you wanted to be?

You made us all suffer so you could all bask in
The pride and the power of setting the fashion
So now I must ask you the simplest question
Do you think that you’re that much better than me?

Did we stand too close to the edge for you
This time?
Did your momma always tell you not to play with fire
As a child?
You should give it a try

The hierarchy stands
That you lie and cheat to conquer
And forget the struggle

Of the ones who would die
Just to stop them feeling useless
But you put them through this

When did you think that your looks and your ego
Could help you to justify acting so evil?
The way that you go round and seek to belittle
Now is this the person you wanted to be?

Your futile endeavours to keep you on top
Will betray insecurities calling your bluff
Still we can’t help but smile while watching your downfall
Now we are the people you wanted to be

Did we stand too close to the edge for you
This time?
Did your momma always tell you not to play with fire
As a child?
And how would you survive without the firing line
That you rile?
Rest assured that when you fall you will fall down
With style

Did we stand too close to the edge for you
This time?
Did your momma always tell you not to play with fire
As a child?
And how would you survive without the firing line
That you rile?
Rest assured that when you fall you will fall down
With style

You’ll fall down with style
