Manipulate Me

The Dismemberment Plan

Oh, don't you know

Life is a fantasy dress ball

And if you must come as yourself, well

You're no fun at all

Here's a tip: Just be yourself

But more so

And that's our cue to go

Whoa-oh whoa-oh yeah

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

So, yes or no

Are you in or are you out?

I didn't get all dressed up

Just to fight your self-doubt

Fool yourself and you can

Fool anyone you choose

There's no way you can lose

Whoa-oh whoa-oh yeah

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

What's a line if you don't toe it?

What's the lead if you don't blow it?

I think losing everything could be so therapeutic

What's a horn if you don't toot it?

What's a gun if you don't shoot it?

Just because you fucked it up doesn't mean we knew it, yeah

Whoa-oh

whoa-oh

Whoa-oh

whooooaah

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon

Manipulate me, oh yeah, c'mon
