The Tradition

Oh, the loneliest girl in town Is bought for pennies of prize We dress her up in lovely gowns She's easy on the eyes Her soul is black and it's a fact That a snear will eat you alive And the buyer always brings her back Because all she does is cry [Chorus] So take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn Ask for forgiveness, never permission Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't givе a damn It's in the blood and this is tradition Ooh-ooh [Verse 2] Oh, the loneliеst girl in town Was bought for plenty a prize Well, they dress her up in golden crowns His smile hides a lie She smiles back, but it's a fact That her fear will eat her alive Well, she got the life that she wanted But now all she does is cry [Chorus] Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn Ask for forgiveness, never permission Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn It's in the blood and this is tradition [Bridge] You can't take it back, it's good as gone Well, flesh amnesiac, this is your soul And I hope what's left will last all summer long And they said that boys were boys, but they were wrong [Chorus] Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn Ask for forgiveness, never permission Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn It's in the blood and this is tradition Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn Ask for forgiveness, never permission Take what you want, take what you can Take what you please, don't give a damn It's in the blood and this is tradition [Outro] (It's good as gone)
