Verse 1

You pushed me overboard then refused to give your hand. You pushed me off that ledge and never showed me where to land. Your eyes look away when we're deep in conversation. Who are you looking for? And what's on your mind? Just tell me if you don't want me around.

Verse 2

I'm tired of dragging after you and showing up in dirt. What started out as just a lark has left me feeling burnt. Seared by the first flush of something new. But now it's old and tarnished and yellowed with age, and you've put me aside and turned the page.

Chorus

And my rage will keep me going, my rage is the thing that knows. I won't be here anymore for you even if you decide you want me to, and you will. 'Cause I'm better than that and I ain't waiting around. I'll see you in the big time baby, if you ever get there baby.

Verse 3

Think you can keep me round on a string, dangling by my neck. Think you can keep me in suspense just a substitute in your quintet. Where'd you ever get the notion I'd be fine being left behind. When we both know baby, I'm the best you'll ever find, and just try to keep me out of your mind.

Chorus

And my rage will keep me going, my rage is the thing that knows. I won't be here anymore for you, even if you decide you want me to, and you will. 'Cause I'm better than that and I ain't waiting around. I'll see you in the big time baby, if you ever get there baby.

Bridge

And you tell me you don't like fake anger in women, but you sure do a number on the one's you're with. Say you've dated psychos and drunks, but I'm not one of those. And you didn't take the time to bother to find out, didn't even care what I was all about. Well now I say 'fuck you' I'm travelling on - Sayonara baby, see me know I'm gone!

Verse 4

You pushed me overboard then refused to give your hand. You pushed me off that ledge and never showed me where to land. Now that it's convenient you say you'll take me out to lunch, but I've lost my appetite for you, you're no longer the flavor of the month. And thank god I'm so much stronger than I thought.

Chorus

And my rage will keep me going, my rage is the thing that knows. I won't be here anymore for you even if you decide you want me to, and you will. 'Cause I'm better than that and I ain't waiting around. I'll see you in the big time baby, if you ever get there baby.
