Fatalistic Attitude Lyrics - Singles - Philip Lynott

Betty was a loser and everyone that used her 

Would let her take the blame 

And if she dare refused, and if she dare resist 

All suggestions that she made were quickly dismissed 

'Til in the end in despair 

She threw her hands up in the air 

She'd slit her wrists, crying, "Nobody cares" 

Believing that by dying she would not be missed 

They found her on the stairs 

She was shot down in flames 

If you take no prisoners 

If you take no names 

Now just between you and me 

I think that's very brave 

That's really facing the reality 

But it's not face that were trying to save 

Johnny's turning viscous 

If only someone could ease the strain 

He says, he's going crazy 

If only someone could ease the pain 

The doctor says it serious 

The doctor says you must insist 

If this boy keeps goin' on like this 

I'm sure, he'll end up delirious 

May I say it plain 

This poor boy is goin' insane 

To be continued on 

Now just between you and me 

I think that's very brave 

The law is reality
