Set Up (To Take a Fall) Lyrics

And You've been holding yourself hostage for something you cannot atone,
And though you know that everyone has failed, you still feel all alone,
You run for cover anytime anybody starts to speak,
They told you you were fireproof, but your armour sprang a leak.
I don't deny you made a mess of things, there's trouble everywhere,
It's the ancient law that bound your fate,
You were blinded by the glare.

You were set up...set up to take a fall, (set up)
Didn't see that you bought it all, (set up)
Someone found your fatal flaw,
You were set up to take a fall.

Now if you pull that trigger or wolf down all those pills, you'll find that what you didn't know doesn't only hurt - it kills,
But you're still alive, you still can learn,
It's never too late for your soul,
They cast you in a losing shape, but you still can break that mould.

Like a thousand tonnes of stone on you, about to wipe you out,
But if you fall upon that rock, you'll find what freedom is all about.

You were set up...set up to take a fall, (set up)
Didn't see that you bought it all, (set up)
Someone found your fatal flaw,
You were set up to take a fall.
You were entranced, romanced, never had a chance,
They came in on your blindside,
Been hearing the same old lies since the day that you were born, yeah,
But you can get smart, new start, regenerate your heart with the power that has made you,
And you won't fall in the same trap now that you've been warned, no.

Oh yeah,
You were set up,
Set up,
You were set up,
Oh, oh.

You were set up...set up to take a fall, (set up)
Didn't see that you bought it all, (set up)
Someone found your fatal flaw,
You were set up...set up to take a fall, (set up)
Someone trying to make you crawl, (set up)
Oh, your chances seem so small,
You were set up...you were set up to take a fall.
Yeah,
Hey, hey,
You were set up...to take a fall,
Set up,
Set up,
Set up,
Set up,
No,
Set up to take a fall,
Set up to take a fall,
Set up to take a fall,
Not again, oh, oh no,
Run and run, and run, and run, and run, and run, and run,
Guitar, baby,
Hey, oh,
Hey, oh,
Hey, oh,
You were set up to take a fall.
