You've let me down for the last time
pushed yourself right over this edge
bad mouthed me on word too many
what did I do to you?

why are you so angry with life
you've cut the line between us in half
not a word you said, do you regret
and leave your guilty knife deep in my back

your ears are deaf to every word I say
your eyes won't see what you have done to me
but every good thing's got to face the end
I'll leave you hangin' by the neck my friend

if you want it go and get it yourself
I am never going to be your slave

when you were thirsty I gave you water
and fed you bread right from my hands
when rain and snow would make you shiver
I kept you warm inside my home

why do you insist on taking
and never think of giving back
you still believe that what you do ain't wrong
and keep on singing the same old song

your ears are deaf to every word I say
your eyes won't see what you have done to me
but every good thing's got to face the end
I'll leave you hangin' by the neck my friend

if you want it go and get it yourself
I am never going to be your slave
if you want it go and get it yourself
I am never going to be your slave
no way

your ears are deaf to every word I say
your eyes won't see what you have done to me
but every good thing's got to face the end
I'll leave you hangin' by the neck my friend

if you want it go and get it yourself
I am never going to be your slave
if you want it go and get it yourself
I am never going to be your slave
if you want it go and get it
if you need it, I don't care, I don't care
if you want it go and get it
if you want it
