You sold me right up the river You had to hold me back You could've looked for the sunshine, yeah But you had to paint the whole thing black Now I'm back in the city The lights are up on me They tried to keep me locked away But hallelujah I feel free All your darkness has come back to you in time Brace yourself world, it's about to blow your mind It's coming round like a shockwave, hey It's coming round like a shockwave, hey You've played the game one too many times You're gonna burn until you behave, hey Maybe the shame will open your eyes It's coming round like a shockwave You made your bed all pretty You reap what you sow Backstabbed all your friends And yes it's all about who you know So don't you dare look my way To try to make you cry I don't have to do a thing to you 'Cause it's coming from the starry sky All your darkness has come back to you in time Brace yourself world, it's about to blow your mind It's coming round like a shockwave, hey It's coming round like a shockwave, hey You've played the game one too many times You're gonna burn until you behave, hey Maybe the shame will open your eyes It's coming round like a shockwave, hey You're a snake You're a weasel You're a pebble in the sea And the pain you feel is washing over me It's coming round like a shockwave, hey It's coming round like a shockwave, hey You played the game one too many times You're gonna burn until you behave, hey Maybe the shame will open your eyes Maybe the shame will open your eyes Maybe the shame will open your eyes It's coming round like a shockwave
