I get down with the victimWe both know you need themYou're stuck in the middle of all irrelevanceAnd your heart is beating'Cause you know that you gottaGet out of the middleAnd rise to the top now
When you've made it, won't you tell me what to do?'Cause I'm playin' it all wrongWhen you've made it (When you've made it), won't you tell me what to do?'Cause I'm playin' it all wrong
You can't fight the friction, so, ease it offYou can't take the pressure, so, ease it offDon't tell me to be strong, ease it offYou can't fight the friction, so, ease it off
And get into the systemWe both know you need oneAt the tip of the needleIt's taking over youAnd your heart is beating'Cause you know that you gottaGet out of the middleAnd rise to the top now
When you've made it, won't you tell me what to do?'Cause I'm playin' it all wrongWhen you've made it (When you've made it), won't you tell me what to do?'Cause I'm playin' it all wrong
You can't fight the friction, so, ease it offYou can't take the pressure, so, ease it offDon't tell me to be strong, ease it offYou can't fight the friction, so, ease it off
Oh, why can't you let it goLike a bird in the snow?This is no place to build your home
You can't fight the friction, so, ease it offYou can't take the pressure, so, ease it offDon't tell me to be strong, ease it offYou can't fight the friction, so
