"X-Cutioner's Song" lyrics - BLOC PARTY

Tick-tock, sit it out
I'm at the stage in Central Park
Don't want your words or apologies
You're gonna pay for it (Pay for it)
Take back what you stole
I'm sure they're meant to hoard
The world will see what I can do
This is my legacy, and it starts with you

[Chorus:]
Because you gave me away
Why?
Because you gave me away
Why?

Burnt flesh, broken bones
They watch the screen as it unfolds
Let me out so I'm not here
You posed the question, this is my reply
Why'd you think I'd let it go
With your yes-mans and pay and all?
Well, then I asked you
Are you prepared?

[Chorus:]
Because you gave me away
Why?
Because you gave me away
Why?

[Outro:]
Silly Charlie
We caught his fingers in the kitty
Silly Charlie
We caught his fingers in the till
Opened up our eyes
Now we see he's playing both sides
Silly Charlie
We caught his fingers in the till
