Fetch The Bolt Cutters lyrics

I've been thinking about when I was trying to be your friend,

I thought it was then, but it wasn't, it wasn't genuine.

I was just so furious, but I couldn't show you 'cause I know you

and I know what you can do & I don't want a war with you.

I won't afford it, you get sore even when you win

and you maim when you're on offense,

but you kill when you're on defense.

And you got all them convinced

that you're the means and the end,

all the VIP's and PYT's and wannabes

afraid of not being your friend.

And I've always been too smart for that, but you know what?

My heart was not. I took it like a kid, you see.

The cool kids voted to get rid of me,

I'm ashamed of what it did to me,

what I let get done, it stole my fun, it stole my fun.

Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long.

Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long.

Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long.

Fetch the bolt cutters.

You seem so nice, I guess you've changed.

Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long.

Fetch the bolt cutters whatever happens, whatever happens.

Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long,

fetch the bolt cutters.

While I'd not yet found my bearings, those it-girls hit the ground

comparing the way I was to the way she was,

saying I'm not stylish enough and I cry too much.

And I listened because I hadn't found my own voice yet

so all I could hear was the noise that

people make when they don't know shit, but I didn't know that yet.

I grew up in the shoes they told me I could fill.

When they came around I would stand real still.

A girl can roll her eyes at me and kill,

I got the idea I wasn't real.

I thought being blacklisted would be grist for the mill

until I realized I'm still here.

I grew up in the shoes they told me I could fill,

shoes that were not made for running up that hill.

And I need to run up that hill,

I need to run up that hill, I will, I will, I will, I will.

Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long.

Fetch the bold cutters, whatever happens, whatever happens.

Fetch the bolt cutters, I've been in here too long.

Fetch the bolt cutters, whatever happens, whatever happens.

Fetch the bolt cutters, whatever happens, whatever happens.

I will, I will fetch the bolt cutters.

Fetch the bolt cutters, fetch the bolt cutters,

fetch the bolt cutters, fetch the bolt cutters.

Whatever happens, whatever happens,

whatever happens, whatever happens

fetch the bolt cutters.
