Lyrics
Useless © 2005 Mewborne Music (BMI)
written by Michael Mewborne
THE PRESIDENT OF THE BANK WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME OF YOUR ATTENTION.
HE'S TELLING ME WHAT YOU LACK IS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF INTERVENTION.
CONSINDER ME YOUR LAST RESORT,
AND DON'T YOU TOUCH THAT FIERY TORCH.
DON'T YOU KNOW YOU'LL BE OUT BEFORE TOO LONG.
YOU KNOW, IF YOU DRINK LIKE THAT WE'RE GONNA TURN OUR BACKS.
WE'RE USELESS.
IF YOU DRINK LIKE THAT WE'RE GONNA TURN OUR BACKS ON
NOBODY TOLD ME TO PROP YOUR BACK
AGAINST THE WALL AT THIS PARTICULAR JUNCTION.
I'M NOT ABOUT TO ARGUE WITH A MIND OFF TRACK.
CAN YOU RESPOND TO MY CENTRIPETAL MOTION.
IT'S UP TO ME TO KEEP MY EYE ON YOU
WITH ALL THOSE SILLY THINGS THAT YOU DO.
EVIL TEMPER AND VISCIOUS WORDS POINTED AT A LIFE ABSURD.
CONSINDER ME YOUR LAST RESORT,
AND DON'T YOU TOUCH THAT FIERY TORCH.
DON'T YOU KNOW YOU'LL BE OUT BEFORE TOO LONG. NO, NO, NO.
WELL I'VE GOT A REMEDY IN MIND
BUT YOU WON'T LIKE MINE WHEN I SAY THAT IT'S
TIME TO GIVE IN ON YOUR WINE, DRAW THE LINE ON YOUR ENDLESS LIES,
WON'T YOU EXERCISE YOUR ULTIMATE RIGHT OR FACE YOUR DEMISE.
IT'S A POISONOUS, IT'S A POISONOUS POSSIBILITY.
INSTEAD OF ATTACK, KEEP YOUR EYES ON MY BACK
'CAUSE IF YOU DRINK LIKE THAT WE'RE GONNA TURN OUR BACKS.
WE'RE USELESS.
IT'S UP TO ME TO KEEP MY EYE ON YOU
WITH ALL THOSE SILLY THINGS THAT YOU DO.
EVIL TEMPER AND VISCIOUS WORDS POINTED AT A LIFE ABSURD.
CONSINDER ME YOUR LAST RESORT,
AND DON'T YOU TOUCH THAT FIERY TORCH.
DON'T YOU KNOW YOU'LL BE OUT BEFORE TOO LONG. NO, NO, NO.
