Intro

    

Verse

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 taking the bait

Chorus

I'd rather drown
And I will not turn my whole life upside down

Verse

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

Chorus

I'll wear the crown
And I will not turn my whole life upside down

Bridge

Nothing's good enough for me
To shake me from complacency
I've made my mind up and I'll never be...

Verse

The kind of man to 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 the rope

Chorus

I'm gagged and bound
And I will not turn my whole life upside down

Bridge

And if the genie was 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 they will not turn my whole life upside down

Instrumental

     

Verse

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 'til the end

Chorus

When I'm not around,
'cause I will not turn my whole life upside down

Outro

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
I will not turn my whole life upside down
