The Way Things Are Lyrics - When The Pawn Hits - Fiona Apple

I wouldn't know what to do with another chance 

If you gave it to me 

I couldn't take the embrace of a real romance 

It'd race right through me 

I'm much better off the way things are 

Much much better off, better by far, by far 

I wouldn't know what to say to a gentle voice 

It'd roll right past me 

And if you chalk it up you'll see I don't really have a choice 

So don't even ask me 

I'm much better off, the way things are 

Much much better off, better by far 

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on 

And I'll keep kicking the crap 'till it's gone 

If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle 

And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be 

Able to move on 

How can I fight, when we're on the same side 

How can I fight beside you 

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on 

And I'll keep kicking the crap 'till it's gone 

If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle 

And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be 

Able to move on 

So keep on calling me names, keep on, keep on 

And I'll keep kicking the crap 'till it's gone 

If you keep on killing, you could get me to settle 

And as soon as I settle, I bet I'll be 

Able to move on
