[Intro]
Invite yourself in
Like a bad case of fleas
Parasitic ploy
Fills an obvious need

[Chorus 1]
Set me up
Cut me down
Cash me in
Spit me out
Thanks for nothing

[Verse 1]
Stealing the fire
From the unsuspecting freak
Opportune time
To perpetuate the breed

[Chorus 1]
Set me up
Cut me down
Cash me in
Spit me out
Thanks for nothing
[Verse 2]
The pressure builds
The balance sets
The level tilts
Thoughts compress

[Verse 3]
Try your best, you will
To bury my head in the sand
Keep me lost in the dark
With the promise of a new spark

[Chorus 2]
Played me, drained me
Tried your best to win
Played me, drained me
Drained, dry

[Verse 4]
Plowing your way
Through a delicate maze
Crushing the dreams
That a lifetime made
Rest will come easy
As the planets fall in line
Karma piling up
Will catch up in time
[Chorus 1]
Set me up
Cut me down
Cash me in
Spit me out
Thanks for nothing

[Chorus 2]
Played me, drained me
Tried your best to win
Played me, drained me
Drained, dry

[Outro]
Sit down
Sit down
Sit down
Sit down
