Barenaked Ladies - Upside Down lyrics

I'm not surprised it's come to this

Sooner or later there must be another's kiss

Behind that kiss a promise a life of bliss

Yeah, great, I won't be taking the bait

I'd rather drown

And I will not turn my whole life upside down.

Imagine everything you've done

Under a microscope on view for everyone

And if the king of circumspection's here

He's come in vain, I won't be sharing the blame

I wear the crown

And I will not turn my whole life upside down.

Nothing's good enough for me

To shake me from complacency

I've made my mind up and I'll never be

The kind of man to make a choice

If I hold my tongue, for I'll never lose my voice

And each attempted act of sabatage destroys all hope,

Although I won't be needing the rope

I'm gagged and bound

And I will not turn my whole life upside down.

And if the genie were set free

And by the laws of things like that, he's indebted to me

I'll bury my three wishes deep down in the ground

So I will not turn my life upside down

Though I appreciate the aim

Tell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his fame

I only use it to make everything the same again

So don't applaud till the end.

I'm not around

Cause I will not turn my whole life upside down.

Nothings good enough for me

To shake me from complacency

I've made my mind up

I won't make a sound

And I will not turn my whole life upside down

Oooh and I will not turn my whole life upside down.
