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
