Goliath cover
06. The Sympathy Vote
Album: Goliath
Artist: Steve Taylor & The Perfect Foil
         
 

I just read a note
to get the sympathy vote
Apology by rote
to get the sympathy vote
I took a diss too far
Likability dropped
This must be stopped
I need your sympathy

CUT DOWN
I’M A DEBASER
I CAN’T STOP
IT’S HUMAN NATURE
I’M RUN RUNNIN’ DOWN
EVERY LITTLE THING YOU SAY
TIL I GET MY WAY

I went and stole a quote
to get the sympathy vote
It was all she wrote
to get the sympathy vote
We’re all picking tribes
with our sympathetic vibes
We shill for The Man
because we can

CUT DOWN…

I CAN’T SETTLE
TIL I PROVE MY METTLE
AND THE COOL KIDS MEDAL
IN MAKING CRACKS

I CAN’T SETTLE
TIL I PROVE MY METTLE
AND THE COOL KIDS MEDAL
IN STABBING BACKS

No no you misunderstood when I said it
I'm not that guy. Give me some credit.
I'm innocent. It was all in the edit.
Look at the context. Forget it.

THERE’S ONLY THREE THINGS IN LIFE
OF ANY CERTAINTY
NUMBER ONE IS DEATH
NUMBER TWO IS TAXES
NUMBER THREE IS PROFESSIONAL JEALOUSY

I THINK I’M RUNNING LOW
ON EXCUSE ME’S
I NEED SOME BETTER EXCUSES
PLEASE?

I’m back in the boat
to win the sympathy vote
The words catch in my throat
I think it’s working
