Frank Tovey - When the Victim Takes The Tyrant´s Place lyrics

To pretend to understand What you've been through Would be a lie And i could not lie to you Vengeance is no good reason To want to win It ties you up And burns away within And i fear i see no shame upon your face As the victim takes the tyrant's place Now you've come up in the world Where once you walked at heel But then you were the underdog So you should know how it feels And there's no accounting For some people's taste There's always someone Who'll take the tyrant's place You've slipped the noose From around your neck But you've stepped into the executioner's shoes And i hear you say ah what the heck Do unto others as they do unto you And if s so sad Watching you fall from grace Now the victim has taken the tyrant's place You sneer at me that anyone would do it You gotta grab what you can Don't include me in your scheme of things I'm not that kind of man And there's no pretending That it's not a waste When the victim takes the tyrant's place
