The Wire Songtext
von Gasoline Lollipops

Burn that white flag
I′ve gone mad
I wouldn't fly that color
to save my soul
Was it the fact I was born bad
or the guidance that I had
that designed me to self destruct
before I′m sold?

It's down to the wire
the stakes get higher
I walk through fire
I'll never tire


Because, the key to the brave
is they think they′ll be saved
right up until the day
that they′re dead and gone
I guess I'm the same
I can′t fathom my fate
so I believe my name
is the chosen one
And that's my loaded gun

My only weakness
lies between me and my woman
She′s the only thing
worth being weak for
If you saw my love for her
you might think I was bluffin'
but that would only be
because you never sought more
Yes, I guess perhaps you really should have thought more
on the things that you let your soul
be bought for

And tell me why
I should comply
with a system that sucks
dreams dry
Will it offer me security?
How much does it cost?
Not much: just my right to be free


Tied to the wire
the stakes get higher
I walk through fire
I′ll never tire

Because, the key to the brave
is they think they'll be saved
right up until the day
that they're dead and gone
I guess I′m the same
I can′t fathom my fate
so I believe my name
is the chosen one
And that's my loaded gun
