Lyrics

Now this makes things even and fair
Now this makes things even and fair

A traitor to my family
Intruder in my home
Sleeping with the enemy
Disloyal to my own
Avert your eyes I symbolize
A nation in decay
I'm your worst self-fulfilling prophecy

So take your anger out on me
Take that I might receive
It's just what I deserve
You can feel it

I had the chance to make a change
In my younger days
But failed to see or to believe
The error of my ways
Encouragement and intervention
All to no avail
In every way that matters I have failed

So take your anger out on me
Here where everyone can see
It's just what I deserve
You can feel it, feel it
Hate and anger, it all comes free
And everyone wants a piece
This is what we have earned
We can feel it

And now this makes things even and fair
Now this makes things even and fair

I've got my network of support
I'm coming to your door
I'm corporate I'm government
I'm keeping children poor
I pass the plate, I pass the blame
To cover for my sins
And I'd vote for the reprobate again

So take your anger out on me
Take that I might receive
It's just what I deserve
You can feel it, feel it
Hate and anger, it all comes free
It all comes so naturally
This is what we have learned
We can feel it, feel it
Take your anger out on me
Take all you want, it's free
This is what you have earned
You can feel it, feel it
