Dragged into a dirty game

Retribution, retaliation
Do I really need to get even?
Revenge, a tooth for a tooth
Anger makes you blind, blind to the truth
Transfixed, confused
Enchanted and used

It comes and goes, it ebbs and flows
Don't lose control Don't explode
Ready or not I'm going to defend
I'll put an end to this intrusive trend

Go yeah,
I'm defending my peace of mind
Go yeah,
I'm defending my peace in life
Through the anger and deception
I'm defending my peace of mind
Go yeah,
I'm defending my peace in life

When I was young, I was told
If you get hit, turn the other cheek
That in fact, stricking back was
A sign of man that's weak
Now that I'm old I still react
To invasion of my privacy
Keep my cool trying not to release
What's building up inside of me
