Halsey – The Tradition
Year: 2021
Lyrics:
Oh, the loneliest girl in town
Is bought for pennies a price
We dress her up in lovely gowns
She’s easy on the eyes
Her soul is black and it’s a fact
That her sneer will eat you alive
And the buyer always brings her back
Because all she does is cry
So take what you want, take what you can
Take what you please, don’t give a damn
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Take what you want, take what you can
Take what you please, don’t give a damn
It’s in the blood and this is tradition
Ooh-ooh
Oh, the loneliest girl in town
Was bought for plenty a price
Well, they dress her up in golden crowns
His smile hides a lie
She smiles back, but it’s a fact
That her fear will eat her alive
Well, she got the life that she wanted
But now all she does is cry
Take what you want, take what you can
Take what you please, don’t give a damn
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Take what you want, take what you can
Take what you please, don’t give a damn
It’s in the blood and this is tradition
You can’t take it back, it’s good as gone
Well, flesh amnesiac, this is your song
And I hope what’s left will last all summer long
And they said that boys were boys, but they were wrong
Take what you want, take what you can
Take what you please, don’t give a damn
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Take what you want, take what you can
Take what you please, don’t give a damn
It’s in the blood and this is tradition
Take what you want, take what you can
Take what you please, don’t give a damn
Ask for forgiveness, never permission
Take what you want, take what you can
Take what you please, don’t give a damn
It’s in the blood and this is tradition
(It’s good as gone)
