I m not surprised it s come to this
Sooner or later there must be another s kiss
Behind that kiss a promise of a life of bliss
Yeah, great
I won t be takin the bait
I d rather drown
And I will not turn my whole life upside down

Imagine everything you ve done
Under a microscope on view for everyone
And if the King of Circumspection s here
He s come in vain
I won t be sharing the blame
I wear the crown
And I will not turn my whole life upside down

Nothing s good enough for me
To shake me from complacency
I make my mind up and I ll never be

The kind of man who d make a choice
For if I hold my tongue I ll never lose my voice
If each attempted act of sabotage destroys all hope
I won t be needing a rope
I m gagged and bound
And I will not turn my whole life upside down

And if the genie were set free
And by the laws of things like that, he s indebted to me
I d bury my three wishes
deep down in the ground
So I will not turn my whole life upside down

Though I appreciate the aim
Tell Andy Warhol s ghost that he can keep his fame
I d only use it to make everything the same again
So don t applaud till the end
I m not around
Cause I will not turn my whole life upside down

Nothing s good enough for me
To shake me from complacency
I ve made my mind up
I won t make a sound
And I will not turn my whole life upside down
