lyrics

You see, insanity, as defined by Albert Einstein
Is expecting different results from the same application
So I'll put this mildly and be as sensitive as I can:
You're in line to come out the biggest sap in the nation

'Cos fool you once, shame on them, fool you thrice, shame on everyone
How many tired expressions do I have to throw at you?

Oh no no, don't go down that road again
You're the chump and the child that you always used to be
Used to think that you could fix it
Be more realistic now
Oh no, don't go down, don't go down

Maybe you hope a grand romantic conflict's what you need
Because your life of cool contentment can no longer please you
I think you need a reminder that you're only human, too
And there are countries where government cronies can jump out and seize you

And fool you once, shame on her, fool you thrice, shame on everyone
Perhaps I'm not the best example, but do as I say not as I do

Oh no no, don't go down that road again
You're the chump and the child that you always used to be
Used to think that you could fix it
Be more realistic now
No, don't go down, don't go down

I know you're fighting for your hurt
I know you want this to your core
But your pride is eating you inside
You denied -- or you tried -- but you just can't hide it from me
I can see 'cos I've been there before
And I can tell you, don't go

Don't go down that road again
You're the chump and the child that I always used to be
Used to pray the Lord would fix it
Honey, settle for another lover now
Don't go down, don't go down
