Bloc Party - The Peace Offering lyrics

I was filming my final scene the other day
When something really rather grave
Came over me
"Don't take it so personal, " you used to say
"It’s only a game"

The first thing I lost was
Belief in the system
But in the end, the system always wins
I bet you wanna know what happens next
Don't you? Patience

So if I'm being frank
I have no need for your scented candles
I don’t need your peace offering
I'd rather have the money you spent
If I'm being frank

So I ride into town on a blood-red horse
Thinking about the thought that
Connects all thoughts
Where did it get you being Mr plus One?
You're not being honest

As Heaven's my witness i did you no harm
There was no, no malice in my heart
Even after everything you've done
No, I don't wish you
Death by stinging nettles
I don't with you death by
A thousand paper cuts no, not anymore
But, I, I think it’s better
You, you stay where you are
And I continue to support you from afar
Through the whispered words of mutual friends
Or the Society Pages
Of the Evening Standard magazine

See, I remember how you operate
And I see now what was really at stake
So when we meet again at the crossroads
And you see me the way I see you
There will be no bitterness
Just next time, do the right thing

Do the right thing don’t be evil
And do the right thing
