The Way Things Are Songtext
von Fiona Apple

I wouldn′t know what to do with another chance
If you gave it to me
I couldn't take the embrace of a real romance
It′d race right through me

I'm much better off
With the way things are
Much, much better off
Better by far, by far

I wouldn't know what to say to a gentle voice
It′ll roll right past me
And if you chalk it up, you′ll see I don't really have a choice
So don′t even ask me


I'm much better off
The way things are
Much, much better off
Better by far, by far

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on
And I′ll keep kicking the crap 'til it′s gone
If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle
And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be able to move on

How could I fight
When we're on the same side?
How could I fight
Beside you?

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on
And I′ll keep kicking the crap ′til it's gone
If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle
And as soon as I settle, I bet I′ll be able to move on


Keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on
And I'll keep kicking the crap ′til it's gone
If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle
And as soon as I settle, I bet I′ll be able to move on
