Ruthless - DeVotchKa

Welcome my friends, bienvenidos

Let’s get on with the show

Mes amis and mis amigos

Baby, it’s time to go

Why you want to rely on the drugas

At least I know I’m alive

Anytime you want to use us

It’s the only way we survive

Oh, what is wrong with us

Gravitas, hubris, hubris

Oh, you sound so ruthless

When you say I’m not the man I used to be

Now you’re scared of me

Soliloquy of local anesthesia

A little something for the pain

A mild case of amnesia

I am drawing a blank

I’m done serving my sentence

I don’t want to die on the vine

I’m not here for repentance

I have come for what’s mine

Oh, what is wrong with us

Gravitas, hubris, hubris

Oh, you sound so ruthless

When you say I’m not the man I used to be

Now you’re scared of me

You say I’m just being careless

It’s a heightened state of awareness

I know that you couldn’t care less

But I think this is quite serious

Tonight I see things so clearly

Descending black and white lines

Abandon those you hold dearly

Your calling is Divine

Vanishing, the thing is vanishing

Swallowed up by the earth

My darling what are you brandishing

I thought I was your first

Oh what is wrong with us

Gravitas, hubris, hubris

Oh you sound so ruthless

When you say it’s time

To step out of the way

(Another time, another place)

The time has come we must be on our way

(Another time, another place)

The time has come to stand out of the way

(Another time, another place)

The time has come we must be on our way

(Another time, another place)

The time has come to stand out of the way
