Grab your flag
I know you're sad
I know you've got the butterflies
They might stick for a little while
Retribution
Now it's time… for payback
(chorus)
Can't stand the look upon his face
He says one thing and does another
Meet me another time, another place
He'll do anything to run for cover
Control is what you have
I say you take it back
You've been victimized
And can't see eye to eye
And I don't wanna see you crying over him
I just want to see you hold it up to him
Yeah!
(chorus)
Now he's messed with that badass motherfucker
And his chain wallet
Wrap it 'round his neck like a tourniquet
Twist it 'til the pain is gone, is gone
You better run for cover
You better run for cover, cover
It's time for
Payback! (x 4)
(chorus)
You believe me when I say,
"I'll wrap it 'round your head
And make it look like suicide"
