| You’re just so proud of what you’ve done
|
| Artists starved of color, a palette of black or white
|
| We must pick one
|
| We cause our own effects
|
| Cause and effect, cause in effect
|
| We don’t mean to be direct
|
| Cause and effect, cause in effect
|
| It won’t go to your head
|
| Believe me that’s the truth
|
| You tie the knot but hang it loose
|
| You say rock and roll is dead
|
| Well that’s just your excuse
|
| Because I’d rather die with it than let it become my noose
|
| I won’t let it become my noose
|
| We cause our own effects
|
| Cause and effect, cause in effect
|
| We don’t mean to be direct
|
| Cause and effect, cause in effect
|
| They’ve taken art into their beds
|
| That was your excuse, because you don’t want the truth
|
| You’ll take the blame for making money off the dead
|
| When your life is in a coffin
|
| I’d rather die with my integrity than have it be abused
|
| We cause our own effects
|
| Cause and effect, cause in effect
|
| We don’t mean to be direct
|
| Cause and effect, cause in effect
|
| I won’t let it become my noose
|
| I won’t let it become my noose |
