And You've been holding yourself hostage for something you cannot atone
And though you know that everyone has failed, you still feel all alone
You run for cover anytime anybody starts to speak
They told you you were fireproof, but your armour sprang a leak
I don't deny you made a mess of things, there's trouble everywhere
It's the ancient law that bound your fate
You were blinded by the glare
You were set up...set up to take a fall, (set up)
Didn't see that you bought it all, (set up)
Someone found your fatal flaw
You were set up to take a fall
Now if you pull that trigger or wolf down all those pills, you'll find that what you didn't know doesn't only hurt - it k**s
But you're still alive, you still can learn
It's never too late for your soul
They cast you in a losing shape, but you still can break that mould
Like a thousand tonnes of stone on you, about to wipe you out
But if you fall upon that rock, you'll find what freedom is all about
You were set up...set up to take a fall, (set up)
Didn't see that you bought it all, (set up)
Someone found your fatal flaw
You were set up to take a fall
You were entranced, romanced, never had a chance
They came in on your blindside
Been hearing the same old lies since the day that you were born, yeah
But you can get smart, new start, regenerate your heart with the power that has made you
And you won't fall in the same trap now that you've been warned, no
Oh yeah
You were set up
Set up
You were set up
Oh, oh
You were set up...set up to take a fall, (set up)
Didn't see that you bought it all, (set up)
Someone found your fatal flaw
You were set up...set up to take a fall, (set up)
Someone trying to make you crawl, (set up)
Oh, your chances seem so small
You were set up...you were set up to take a fall
Yeah
Hey, hey
You were set up...to take a fall
Set up
Set up
Set up
Set up
No
Set up to take a fall
Set up to take a fall
Set up to take a fall
Not again, oh, oh no
Run and run, and run, and run, and run, and run, and run
Guitar, baby
Hey, oh
Hey, oh
Hey, oh
You were set up to take a fall
