I've taken a bite,
I'll do what you ask-
if you do what you like.

I only wanted to be right
I only wanted to be right

I hide my head
then you say you're courageous
you still don't sweat,
did you say something dangerous?

We ought to be happy,
I ought to feel cleansed.
I've got no illusions
that we could ever be friends.

I only wanted the quiet life!
I only wanted the quiet life!

I hide my head
then you say you're courageous
you still don't sweat,
did you say something dangerous?

You pull my hair,
you ask me to elaborate.
I'll hide again,
you dare me to retaliate.

I only wanted to be right,
I only wanted the quiet life
