Take the Shot lyrics

[Intro, spoken]
Tink, what have you done?

[Verse 1]
I did exactly what I had to
Cut the rot right out from the root
Now be happy that I saved you from yourselves

She had you fooled, don't you see?
She was no mother, she was a thief
Tempting you with all her stories
So I took action, and boy, what's done is done

[Verse 2]
So now you stand against us
Need I remind you just exactly who brought you all this way?
You wanna leave? Be my guest
But sweetheart, don't you forget
We give gifts and take them away!

Your home is here forever
Whether through love or terror
That's a choice you makе
I won't be held responsiblе now

I'll make you hate and fear me
You wanna leave? Then kill me!
Either way, I promise
You will never, ever get out!
[Chorus]
So why don't you take the shot?
Go on now, take the shot
Oh, if you're man enough
Why don't you take the shot?

[Verse 3]
Boy, you act just how I raised you
All your clever plans are see-through
I'll let you stage your childish coup for now
But know it's I who runs this game

So you can mourn and move on
Like how you picked her after two suns
Been here for years and that's your response?
You throw the one that raised you away!

[Verse 4]
We own the suns and seasons, control the tides and breeze
And have to then convince you we're real
You thrive and we're the reason, the very air you breath in
We are the gods, the fates, the deity to which you should kneel

We should be loved and worshipped
By now I'd say we've earned it
But we hide and cower, hoping that you think we're here
A brand new world I'm seeing
Give 'em something to believe in
And finally we'll be revered!
[Chorus]
So why don't you take the shot?
Go on now, take the shot
Oh, if you're man enough
Why don't you take the shot?

Why don't you take the shot?
Go on now, take the shot
Oh, if you're man enough
Why don't you take the shot?

[Bridge]
You wanna shoot
I know you do
So give it up, oh you know how to
But there's just one thing to truly be free
It's me you need, and I'd never agree
The choice is plain, it's you or them
And know right now
We won't be condemned so

[Outro]
Take the shot
Go on now, take the shot

Go on now, take the shot
Go on now, take the shot
Go on now, take the shot
Why don't you
Why don't you?
Why don't you?
Take the...
