lyrics

Ready to pop, fizzing out, ripping buttons off, don’t blame me for what I’m ‘bout to do
I’m a stuck bottle top, cork stops in flooded electrical sockets, wishin’ I could follow you
Axehead, red, what the heck, chop off the neck, life pouring out, will you let it through?
Oh who you gonna wait for to tell you?

I’d rather jump rope, flip the coin, try and make the team
Boot the ball, double-bounce on the trampoline
Hitting hard, no one’s coping with anything, but I’m not waiting
Causing trouble on the streets, stones in window panes
Like the kiss of the prince I’m myself again
Hitting hard, no one’s coping with anything, let’s start from new again

Ready to pop (all bottled up), let’s start from new again
Stuck bottle top (all bottled up), let’s start from new again (jump rope, jump rope)

Coiled tight, paused, ready to strike, don’t try and tell me what to do
I’m cooped in, hissy fit, imprisoned, citizens under supervision, wishing I could follow you
Window latch, open a crack, snake out and bite back, what you make of life is up to you
Oh who you gonna wait for to tell you?
Oh who you gonna wait for to tell you?

We don’t know what to think, we don’t feel anything
Human lie, human machine, empty eyes, blinking screen
Boots and guns, promises, promises, promises
Just wait for someone to tell you

Jump rope, flip the coin, captain lead your team
Steal the ball, smash and grab at the cash machine
Hitting hard, no one’s coping with anything, but I’m not waiting
Causing trouble on the streets, stones in window panes
Like the kiss of the prince I’m myself again
Hitting hard, no one’s coping with anything, let’s start from new again

Ready to pop (all bottled up), let’s start from new again
Stuck bottle top (all bottled up), let’s start from new again (jump rope, jump rope) Ready to pop (all bottled up), let’s start from new again
Stuck bottle top (all bottled up), let’s start from new again (jump rope, jump rope)
