Fatalistic Attitude
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Betty was a loser
And everyone that used her
Would let her take the blame
And if she dare refused
And if she dare resist
All suggestions that she made were quickly dismissed
til in the end in despair
She threw her hands up in the air
Shed slit her wrists
Crying nobody cares
Believing that by dying she would not be missed
They found her on the stairs
She was shot down in flames
If you take no prisoners
If you take no names
Now just between you and me
I think thats very brave
Thats really facing the reality
But its not face that were trying to save
Johnnys turning viscous
If only someone could ease the strain
He says he going crazy
If only someone could ease the pain
The doctor says it serious
The doctor says you must insist
If this boy keeps going on like this
Im sure hell end up delirious
May I say it plain
This poor boy is going insane
To be continued on...
Now just between you and me
I think thats very brave
The law is reality
