The Tradition
[Verse 1]
Oh the loneliest girl in town
Is bought for pennies of prize
We dress her up in lovely gowns
She’s easy on the eyes
Her soul is black and it’s a fact
That a snear will eat you alive
The buyer always brings her back
Because all she does is cry
[Chorus]
So take what you want
Take what you can
Take what you please
Don’t give a damn
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Take what you want
Take what you can
Take what you please
Don’t givе a damn
It’s in the blood and this is tradition
Mhm-hm
[Verse 2]
Oh the loneliеst girl in town
Was bought for plenty of prize
They dress her up in golden crowns
Her smile hides a lie
She smiles back but it’s a fact
That a fear will eat her alive
She got the life that she wanted
But now all she does is cry
[Chorus]
Take what you want
Take what you can
Take what you please
Don’t give a damn
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Take what you want
Take what you can
Take what you please
Don’t give a damn
It’s in the blood and this is tradition
[Bridge]
You can take it back
It’s good as gone
Flesh amnesiac
This is your song
I hope what’s left will last all summer long
And they said that boys were boys but they were wrong
[Chorus]
Take what you want
Take what you can
Take what you please
Don’t give a damn
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Take what you want
Take what you can
Take what you please
Don’t give a damn
It’s in the blood and this is tradition
Take what you want
Take what you can
Take what you please
Don’t give a damn
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Take what you want
Take what you can
Take what you please
Don’t give a damn
It’s in the blood and this is tradition
