Everybody's pushing what they think is right But my minds made up alright Close up shop on your ideals Couldn't give a fuck about how you feel Think about the people you are hurting most At the bottom of the ladder whilst you just boast You've got your security So leave the talking to people like me Retaliation - paybacks on the mind Retaliation - pay 'em back in kind Call me ignorant the door is closed Take a look cos the damage shows If you don't like it that is tough 'Cos I know what I know If ya gonna fight - do it right Got no time to waste alright We shout the truth, we know what's real The snobs at the top don't know the deal An ignorance that runs too deep Can't understand how the fuck you sleep So much on your conscious, do you care? Your paradise is my nightmare Retaliation - paybacks on the mind Retaliation - pay 'em back in kind Call me ignorant the door is closed Take a look cos the damage shows If you don't like it that is tough 'Cos I know what I know Retaliation - paybacks on the mind Retaliation - pay 'em back in kind
