[Verse 1]
Rest assured, they're weighing words in sympathetic ink
And they don't waste their time suspending disbelief
They face the facts, with thinking caps, they map out and display
But that's not the only way

[Verse 2]
Common sense won't pay the rent, and doesn't grow on trees
But splitting hairs can get you anything you need
Who would have thought connecting dots might get you to the point?
But charity is a rarity
Almost as much as modesty

[Chorus]
Take the bait, and save
However much it takes
Before you've made your wish
However much it takes

[Verse 3]
Rest assured, they're weighing words in sympathetic ink
And I don't waste my time suspending disbelief
Masterminds want bottom lines, to map out and display
If I have every bit of faith
I won't be turning in my grave
[Chorus]
Take the bait, and save
However much it takes
Before you've made your wish
However much it takes

[Bridge]
Take your own advice
Before you take a side
Look for middle ground

[Chorus]
Take the bait, and save
However much it takes
Before you've made your wish
However much it takes
Before you lie in wait
However much it takes
