Get down with the victim We both know you need them You’re stuck in the middle Of all irrelevance And your heart is beating Cause you know that you gotta Get out of the middle And rise to the top now
[Pre-Chorus:] When you’ve made it Won’t ya tell me what to do Cause I’m playin’ it all wrong When you made it, when you made it Won’t ya tell me what to do Cause I’m playin it all wrong
[Chorus:] You can’t fight the friction So ease it off Can’t take the pressure So ease it off Don’t tell me to be strong Ease it off You can’t fight the friction So ease it off
And get into the system We both know you need one The tip of the needle Is taking over you And your heart is beating
Cause you know that you gotta Get out of the middle And rise to the top now
[Pre-Chorus:] When you’ve made it Won’t ya tell me what to do Cause I’m playin’ it all wrong When you made it, when you made it Won’t ya tell me what to do Cause I’m playin it all wrong
[Chorus:] You can’t fight the friction So ease it off Can’t take the pressure So ease it off Don’t tell me to be strong Ease it off You can’t fight the friction So ease it off
Ohhh why can’t you let go Like a bird in the snow This is no place to build your home
You can’t fight the friction So ease it off Can’t take the pressure So ease it off Don’t tell me to be strong Ease it off You can’t fight the friction So
