Philip Lynott - Fatalistic Attitude lyrics

Betty was a loser

And everyone that used her

Would let her take the blame

And if she dare refused

And if she dare resist

All suggestions that she made were quickly dismissed

'til in the end in despair

She threw her hands up in the air

She'd slit her wrists

Crying nobody cares

Believing that by dying she would not be missed

They found her on the stairs

She was shot down in flames

If you take no prisoners

If you take no names

Now just between you and me

I think that's very brave

That's really facing the reality

But it's not face that were trying to save

Johnny's turning viscous

If only someone could ease the strain

He says he going crazy

If only someone could ease the pain

The doctor says it serious

The doctor says you must insist

If this boy keeps going on like this

I'm sure he'll end up delirious

May I say it plain

This poor boy is going insane

To be continued on...

Now just between you and me

I think that's very brave

The law is reality
