The Tradition

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 Oh 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's 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 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 --- The Tradition - Halsey
