Barenaked Ladies Upside Down song lyrics

I'm not surprised it's come to this

Sooner or later there must be another's kiss

Behind that kiss a promise of a life of bliss

Yeah, great, I won't be taking the bait

I'd rather drown

And I will not turn my whole life upside down

Imagine everything you've done

Under a microscope on view for everyone

And if the king of circumspection's here

He's come in vain, I won't be sharing the blame

I'll wear the crown

And I will not turn my whole life upside down

Nothing's good enough for me

To shake me from complacency

I've made my mind up and I'll never be...

The kind of man to make a choice

For if I hold my tongue I'll never lose my voice

If each attempted act of sabotage destroys all hope

I won't be needing the rope

I'm gagged and bound

And I will not turn my whole life upside down

And if the genie was set free

And by the laws of things like that, he's indebted to me

I'd bury my three wishes deep down in the ground

So they will not turn my whole life upside down

Though I appreciate the aim

Tell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his fame

I'd only use it to make everything the same again

So don't applaud 'til the end

When I'm not around, 'cause I will not turn my whole life upside down

Nothing's good enough for me

To shake me from complacency

I've made my mind up, I won't make a sound

And I will not turn my whole life upside down

I will not turn my whole life upside down
