Placebo - This Is What You Wanted lyrics

[Placebo - This Is What You Wanted lyrics]

Hey, hey, hey
There's no need to panic
This is just how it is
Your pulse is fast and frantic
And it feels like you'll explode

This is what you wanted
This is here and now
This is what you came for
But you leave disappointed
Cracked skin and furrowed brow

Hey, hey, hey
This is what you wanted
This is why you came
This is what you asked for
Yes, I heard you beg

And you came
And you broke it, threw it
Out of the room
Flushed it, down the toilet
Even though it was your precious
The last thing to call your own

Hey, hey, hey
This is what you wanted
And you got it
Now you hate it
'Cause it's a disappointment

Your expectations were way
Too fucking high
Now you're angry
Frustrated
You've created your own special hell

Where it's arctic
And it's barren
And it's silent
And it's white
Your own prison cell

Hey, hey, hey
There's no need to panic

About the song Placebo - This Is What You Wanted

This Is What You Wanted - sad chords at the beginning, turn into a gentle triplet of wind instruments and percussion. On this track, it was worth finishing the album, but the creators know better ;-)
