Hiding Out Loud - Every Dog Has His Day Lyrics

You walk the walk, you talk the talk
you even act the part but even the blind can see right through you
this time around find higher ground and brace yourself for battle
you bit off more than you could ever chew

the time is now, you f*cking clown
picked a bad time to go downtown
swallow your pride and take the fall

Yes, I just want to be there when you go down
as your structure collapses and control decays,
the cries and the screams are a wonderful sound
as you run for cover, you fall to the ground
and you look at my face (you got nobody now)
I just want to be there so I can shout, "You're going down!"

You have your cake and eat it too, too bad I know what's in it
I hope you choke on every f*cking piece you eat
You think I'm unaware, but that just goes to show you
I'm more perceptive than you'll ever be

And every night you'll see your face in the mirror
and you'll think twice next time she comes running over

Yes, I just want to be there when you go down
as your structure collapses and control decays,
the cries and the screams are a wonderful sound
as you run for cover, you fall to the ground
and you look at my face (you got nobody now)
I just want to be there so I can shout, "You're going down!"

Shake my hand, smile to my face
I'll do the same but we'll both know it's just a sinister charade
Every dog will have his day and you had yours long ago
so don't expect my sympathy

Yes, I just want to be there when you go down (WHEN YOU GO DOWN)
as your structure collapses and control decays,
the cries and the screams are a wonderful sound
as you run for cover, you fall to the ground
and you look at my face (you got nobody now)
I just want to be there, yes I just want to be there
I just want to be there so I can shout, "You're going down!"
