Default It Didnt Take You Long - Lyrics

Well, it didn’t take you long.
Did it, babe?
To learn to sing my song
and get yourself laid.
No, It didn’t take you long.
Did it, babe?
The moment I was gone
you’re the master of the slaves.
And it didn’t take me long
to realize.
All of your songs
were just lies, lies, lies.
And it didn’t take me long.
Did it, babe?
I want you to find a new boy
whose face you could shave.

Ok, I’m sorry.
I’m just a little angry with you.
'Cause it dug like a quarry
when you were angry with me.
And maybe it’s not right?
Yeah, but hell with it!
I’m angry with you.
Is there not enough light?
Or do you just not see?
What you do
is what you hated in me?
Though I was never free enough to.

Yeah, well, it didn’t take you long.
Did it babe?
I'm all alone
in the last step of the race.
Yeah, and it didn’t take you long.
Did it, babe?
The moment I was gone
you’re in the masters' parade.
And it didn’t take you long
to tell your friends.
How I'd done you wrong
and just left you in the end?
Yeah, but it didn’t take you long.
Did it, babe?
To find a new boy
whose dick you could crave.

Ok, I’m sorry.
I’m just a little angry with you.
'Cause it dug like a quarry
when you were angry with me.
And maybe it’s not right?
Yeah, but hell with it!
I’m angry with you.
Is there not enough light?
Or do you just not see?
What you do
is what you hated in me?
Though I was never free enough to.

It was about five years ago. It's amazing how you hold on...

(Edited to illustrate his brilliant, partially internal rhyme scheme and the insistent quality in the abundance of emphatic punctuation)
Maybe we can get these up on the lyrics page?

I didnt want to revive that old thread I found this in.

Anyway, thanks Spamlet! =p

P.S. I cant believe this didnt make it onto 9
