Buttoned Down

What it was wasn't my fault
 If I would have known, but
 Who could have known?
 The cameras and the kids
 The candids and the kindling
 We're fighting them all
 They've done it again
 What do her friends say?
 Who was involved?
 I'll call it all off
 'Cause I should have known but
 Who could have known?
 Who could have known?
 The needles, the space that time can't erase
 And buttoned down you'll get the best of me
 The thrill of it all, the rise and the fall
 And buttoned down you'll get the best of me
 On the way back to the bank
 His head sinking low
 He should have known
 How hard did it come?
 When was it that you lost your soul?
 What does it take?
 What did they make you?
 What do you know?
 Well we've done it again, again, again
 Now we'll let you in but
 We should have known
 We should have known
 The needles, the space that time can't erase
 And buttoned down you'll get the best of me
 The thrill of it all, the rise and the fall
 And buttoned down you'll get the best of me
 Now buttoned down you'll get the best of me
 Buttoned down, you'll get the best of me
