5th track on Tanuki Suit's 3rd EP "Dance! Dance! Dance!"

lyrics

She’s a clever criminal
An anti-hero
A temptress; a disaster in disguise

I had a taste for deviance
The result of obedience
but she had me figured out

I’d defend her honor
and bleed all over her
a sacrifice that wouldn’t mean a thing

She’s a cynical savior
of erratic behavior
At her best when her back's against the wall

I'm losing control
Playing by the rules
anarchy prevails
I guess it always will
There's no guarantee
when you bite the hand that feeds
They'll never take her alive
She’s a con-artist
but I know who she really is...

She’s a clever criminal
An anti-hero
A martyr for the socially obsessed

We’re defenseless
the whole world is against us
but I just want to make it stop

I’m losing control
playing all these roles
anarchy prevails
and I guess it always will
There’s no guarantee
that this was meant for me
You’ll never take her alive
but I’ll be the first to step in line

I'm losing control
Playing by the rules
anarchy prevails
I guess it always will
There's no guarantee
when you bite the hand that feeds
They'll never take her alive
She’s a con-artist
but I know who...
but I know who she really is...
