Scapegoat – Hissy Fit
A rough draft of an “angry song” I plan to finish with the band one day… ’til then, here’s a demo recorded live at the Palm Room Lounge, at the fabulous Fort Garry Hotel in Winnipeg.
How much is it worth to you – to see me back down on my knees again?
The closer that I get to you – the heavier my shoulders.
How much is it really worth? You could stay angry your whole life…
No choice but shrug it off or hold on tight and suffer, oh
…
Is that what you want from me? Is that what you want from me?
To take everything just as personally… pretending I can’t see what you really want with me.
…
How much am I worth to you? Do I exist for any other reason than to be chewed up and wait for you to spit me out again.
How much am I really worth? Are you the one who should decide?
Or would you rather I point out the reasons why?
…
Is that what you want from me? Is that what you want from me?
To accept as quickly and quietly… this scapegoat fate that you’ve assigned to me.
…
*bridge*
Don’t tell me I cannot have my way – and I promise all will be okay.
Don’t tell me I cannot have my way…
I’ll throw such a hissy fit, you’ll just wanna be done with it;
’cause if it takes all night I’m going to have my way!
