How the tables have turned,
turning us into unbelievable things.

I fight for free veins
and you campaign for self-destruction.

You're just burning inside to get
rolls of paper and artificial happiness

and glasses of liquid liberation,
freeing you from inhibitions.

How the tables have turned,
me disappointed in what you're becoming.
