You took the paper and took away the pen
You looked away as if to say “I’d do it all again”
You broke your promise, you left it in a heap
In a million pieces for someone else to keep
For someone else to keep
People cannot let go, always got to be in control
Evil from head to toe, they’ll open up and swallow you whole
They’ll open up and swallow you whole
My mother told me, she was very wise
Some of your friends will turn on you the minute you close your eyes
It’s better to keep your distance, than get involved
With someone with a problem that never can be solved
Never can be solved
People who can’t let go, always got to be in control
Evil from head to toe, open up and swallow you whole
Open up and swallow you whole
Open up and swallow you whole
You took the credit where credit wasn’t due
You’ve always got an angle it begins and ends with you
Isn’t there something you can say that isn’t an attack
I’d walk away but I’m afraid you’d shoot me in the back
Shoot me in the back
People who can’t let go, and always got to be in control
Evil from head to toe, they’ll open up and swallow you whole
People who can’t let go, always got to be in control
Evil from head to toe, they’ll open up and swallow you whole
Open up and swallow you whole
Open up and swallow you whole
(Even try to poison your soul)
