lyrics

You run around this rock like you’ve got it made
You pluck her from the corner of your stage
You’re trying to make yourself feel better?
You strut around this town and flaunt your shit.
Another to obliterate and you’re getting it.
Trying to forget about your pain, eh?

(Chorus)
Why do you do this to them?
Think you’re the magic man?
Uprooting all these flowers around you, can’t you help yourself at all?


Your music burns with bleakness and despair
Falling for her neck, and for her, the short hair.
Helps you forget about your pain, eh?
Your ego feasts on their lonely souls
Smart and beautiful but under your control
Another notch on your bedpost?


(Chorus Two)
Why do you do this to them? What are you proving, man?
Annihilation of all these hearts, resounding.
Can’t you help yourself at all?


Her eyes are dry, when she’s on parade
Another taker for your escapades!
Trying to make it your own way?
You call it quits when she gets too hard.
Take and run is your calling-card.
You got nothing left to say, eh?

(Chorus three)
Why do you do this to them?
Think you're the magic man?
Hunting all, these foxes around you?
Can’t you help yourself at all?
Can you help yourself?
Can't you help yourself?
