Get down with the victim

We both know you need them

You're stuck in the middle

Of all irrelevance

And your heart is beating

Cause you know that you gotta

Get out of the middle

And rise to the top now.

[Pre-chorus]

When you've made it

Won't ya tell me what to do

Cause I'm playin' it all wrong

When you made it, when you made it

Won't ya tell me what to do

Cause I'm playin it all wrong.

[Chorus]

You can't fight the friction

So ease it off

Can't take the pressure

So ease it off

Don't tell me to be strong

Ease it off

You can't fight the friction

So ease it off.

And get into the system

We both know you need one

The tip of the needle

Is taking over you

And your heart is beating.

Cause you know that you gotta

Get out of the middle

And rise to the top now.

[Pre-chorus]

When you've made it

Won't ya tell me what to do

Cause I'm playin' it all wrong

When you made it, when you made it

Won't ya tell me what to do

Cause I'm playin it all wrong.

[Chorus]

You can't fight the friction

So ease it off

Can't take the pressure

So ease it off

Don't tell me to be strong

Ease it off

You can't fight the friction

So ease it off.

Ohhh why can't you let go

Like a bird in the snow

This is no place to build your home.

[Chorus x2]

You can't fight the friction

So ease it off

Can't take the pressure

So ease it off

Don't tell me to be strong

Ease it off

You can't fight the friction

So ease it off.
