Sweet Revenge - Live

Lyrics

I got kicked off of Noah's Ark
 I turn my cheek to unkind remarks
 There was two of everything
 But one of me
 And when the rains came tumbling down
 I held my breath, and I stood my ground
 And I watched that ship go sailing
 Out to sea
 Take it back
 Take it back
 Oh no, you can't say that
 All of my friends
 Are now dead or in jail
 Through rock and through stone
 The black wind still moans
 Sweet revenge
 Sweet revenge
 Without fail
 I caught an aisle seat on a plane
 And drove an English teacher half insane
 Making up jokes about bicycle spokes
 And red balloons
 So I called up my local deejay
 And he didn't have a lot to say
 But the radio
 Has learned all of my favorite tunes
 Take it back
 Take it back
 Oh no, you can't say that
 All of my friends
 Are now dead or in jail
 Through rock and through stone
 The black wind still moans
 Sweet revenge
 Sweet revenge
 Without fail
 The white meat is on the run (run)
 And the dark meat is far too done (done)
 And the milkman left me a note yesterday (yesterday)
 Get out of this town by noon (get out)
 You're coming on way too soon (right now)
 And besides that
 We never liked you any way
 Take it back
 Take it back
 Oh no, you can't say that
 All of my friends
 Are now dead or in jail
 Through rock and through stone
 The black wind still moans
 Sweet revenge
 Sweet revenge
 Without fail
 Sweet revenge
 Sweet revenge
 Will prevail
 Without fail
