Whipping Boy

I don't want to be killed by kindness,
I don't want your pity none,
Seeing you spin from crisis to blindness,
Staring down the muzzle of a gun
You've got many expectations
Seems to me they're hard to please
What do you want, how can I tell
Your good intentions lead straight to hell

Chorus
Never gonna be, your whipping boy,
Never be, your whipping boy,
I don't wanna be, your whipping boy,
Not now, not then, not ever again,
I don't wanna go back
I don't wanna do that
I don't wanna go back
Not now, not then, not ever again

I don't like your song and dance
You have no power here
This is quite a strange romance
Try to dominate with fear
Look around, hear the news
I don't want to ever feel abused
There's a better way to get it right
Unite and fight, fight the real fight

Chorus
Never gonna be, your whipping boy

Sirens wail, face the nation
Never gonna give no guarantee
Watch for those who seek to destroy
And turn you into their whipping boy
Sirens wail, face the nation
No time to turn and flee
Time to count your blessings fast
You will prevail and be the last

Ch:
Never gonna be your whippin' boy
----------break

Don't blame me for what's to come
I don't want your pity none
Will it prove you cast your spell
Your good intentions lead straight to hell
Let it go, leave it here
Now that things are very clear
I don't wanna go back

I don't wanna do that

Ch:
Never gonna be your whippin' boy

Hang em high, hang em low
You put on such a show
Don't want to feel no shame
But you just want to blame
Let it go, leave it here
Now that things are very clear
Own you actions, feel your joy
I don't wanna be your whipping boy
