Friday night, looking mean
Pulling up at Sneaky Dee's
See her in the window seat
Heart eyes glistening
Cannot take her eyes off him
Twirling round her fake ID
Cold shoulder, best friend told her
Never go for someone older
Only end up crying to me
For Knives Chau, it's too late now
She'll get him and she don't care how
And he just grins obliviously
Saturday, on the brink
Leaning on the bathroom sink
Colour dripping in her drink
Could it be that they're done
That she's not the only one?
Oh, what will her Father think
Dedicated, educated
Frankly underestimated
Better than he would ever be
But dear Ramona, never known a
Girl to live as such a loner
How was she to ever compete?
One day Knives will see
Was never meant to be
Like he means nothing to me
She'll soon be glad to be free
One day Knives will see
Was never meant to be
Like he means nothing to me
Soon that's where she'll be

Taste your medicine, we'll play you at your game
Take the letters and arrange them as your name
Thinking you're a rebel boy, a son of a gun
When there's a million more waiting just as soon as you're done
Living for the hell of it with nothing to lose
I've got a million more reasons but don't wanna be rude
Maybe the only way to tell you is say nothing at all
Let you live your life waiting as we wait for the fall
Flick your cigarette and pour yourself a new drink
Start sniffing up this truth because it aint what you think
Don't know how to break it to you, please, take a seat
If you can spare a single moment from them kissing your feet
Never gonna go down for the money
Choosing when I keep my mouth clean
If you see me take a dip in the honey
You never have to worry about me
I will bleed for the chance to make a living
So take my sweat and tears for free
Cause it's called a work of art for a reason
So go and update your CV
Never made us care enough to break a sweat
You know you haven't even seen the half of it yet
We don't need no business with the friends you keep
Cause it's a new age honey and the Luxe is Cheap
Taste your medicine, we'll play you at your game
Take the letters and arrange them as your name
Thinking you're a rebel boy, a son of a gun
When there's a million more waiting just as soon as you're done
Never gonna go down for the money
Choosing when I keep my mouth clean
If you see me take a dip in the honey
You never have to worry about me
I will bleed for the chance to make a living
So take my sweat and tears for free
Cause it's called a work of art for a reason
So go and update your CV

Ah! My first entree into TSPSI, and I love it. Angular, edgy, angry, and accomplished. Like vintage NIN on meth. Can't wait to go backward through their discography.
