Upside Down — текст песни (Barenaked Ladies)

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
