We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core

We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core
I can't take, take no more
We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core
I can't take no more

I know your love is not what it seems
It's the way you make me doubt my sanity
I know you're gonna take it too far
If you had your way you'd tear my world apart

No way we'll ever agree
You're all or nothing, no in between
One day, you'll open your eyes
And you're in for a surprise
Don't tell me how to live my life

We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core
Oh no, don't tell me black is white
We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core
This is the turning of the tide

So vain, you're truly one of a kind
When I call you out you really lose your mind
So loud, but you've got nothing to say
If I stand my ground you turn and walk away

No way to get you to see
You're narrow sighted, so extreme
One day, you'll open your mind
And we'll leave the lies behind
My eyes are finally open wide

We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core
I can't take, take no more
We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core
Feels like we're running out of time

We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core
Oh no, don't tell me wrong is right
We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core
This is the turning of the tide

We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core
Oh no, don't tell me day is night
We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core
I won't surrender to the fight

No way we'll ever agree
You're all or nothing, no in between
One day, you'll open your eyes
And you're in for a surprise
There's no way that we'll ever agree

We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core
We gotta get back to the core
