Lyrics

No, don't ask me to apologise
I won't ask you to forgive me
If I'm gonna go down
You're gonna come with me

You say 'why don't you be a man about it
Like they do in the grown-up movies?'
But when it comes to the other way around
You say you just wanna use me. oh
You ^sit and you wonder whether
It's gonna be syndicated
You sit with your knees together
All the time your breath is baited

Hand in hand
No, don't ask me to apologise
I won't ask you to forgive me
If I'm gonna go down
You're gonna come with me

Don't you know I got the bully boys out
Changing someone's facial design
Sitting with my toy room lout
Polishing my precious china
Don't you know I'm an animal?
But don't you know I can't stand up steady?
But you can't show me any kind of hell
That I don't know already

Hand in hand
No, don't ask me to apologise
I won't ask you to forgive me
If I'm gonna go down
You're gonna come with me
Hand in hand, hand in hand, hand in hand..
