  • Hey little man
    Let me sing my song
    Or I'm gonna freak out freak out
    Become a dominator
    A violator

    You can't give it all that it needs
    You can't give it all that it needs

    You can't give it all that it needs
    You can't give it all that it needs

    All we need is
    Magic formula
    A whole new backbone
    Is what we're looking for
    So you wanted to change the world
    But I didn't believe you
    That's why we'll say goodbye to good old days son

    I'm trying the best I can
    But there's a white flag burning in the middle of our hands
    I'm tired of being exposed
    And I don't know how much more of this I can stand

    Hey heaven's whore
    Let me sing my song
    A cranial freak out freak out
    Freak out freak out...

    You can't give it all that it needs
    You can't give it all that it needs

    You can't give it all that it needs
    You can't give it all that it needs

    All we need is
    Magic formula
    A whole new backbone
    Is what we're looking for
    So you wanted to change the world
    But I didn't believe you
    That's why we'll say goodbye to good old days son

    I'm trying the best I can
    But there's a white flag burning in the middle of our hands
    I'm tired of being exposed
    And I don't know how much more of this I can stand

    I'm trying the best I can
    But there's a white flag burning in the middle of my hand
    I'm tired of being exposed
    And I don't know how much more of this I can stand Writer/s: SIMON ALEXANDER NEIL
