Bloc Party - X-Cutioner's Song lyrics

[Verse 1] Tick-tock, sit it out I'm at the stage in central park Don't want your words or apologies You're gonna pay for it Pay for it Take back what you stole I'm sure you meant it all The world will see what I can do This is my legacy And it starts with you [Chorus] Because you gave me away Why? Because you gave me away Why? [Verse 2] Burnt flesh, broken bones They watch the screen as it unfolds Let me out so I'm not here You posed the question, this is my reply Why'd you think I'd let it go With your 'yes mans' and pay and all? Well, then, I ask you Are you prepared? [Chorus] Because you gave me away Why? Because you gave me away Why? [Bridge] Silly Charlie We caught his fingers in the kitty Silly Charlie We caught his fingers in the till Opened up our eyes Now we see he's playing both sides Silly Charlie We caught his fingers in the till
