Upside Down Lyrics by Barenaked Ladies

Upside Down Lyrics

    I'm not surprised it's come to this
    Sooner or later there must be another's kiss
    Behind that kiss a promise of a life of bliss
    Yeah, great
    I won't be takin' the bait
    I'd rather drown
    And I will not turn my whole life upside down

    Imagine everything you've done
    Under a microscope on view for everyone
    And if the King of Circumspection's here
    He's come in vain
    I won't be sharing the blame
    I wear the crown
    And I will not turn my whole life upside down

    Nothing's good enough for me
    To shake me from complacency
    I make my mind up and I'll never be

    The kind of man who'd make a choice
    For if I hold my tongue I'll never lose my voice
    If each attempted act of sabotage destroys all hope
    I won't be needing a rope
    I'm gagged and bound
    And I will not turn my whole life upside down

    And if the genie were set free
    And by the laws of things like that, he's indebted to me
    I'd bury my three wishes
    deep down in the ground
    So I will not turn my whole life upside down

    Though I appreciate the aim
    Tell Andy Warhol's ghost that he can keep his fame
    I'd only use it to make everything the same again
    So don't applaud till the end
    I'm not around
    Cause I will not turn my whole life upside down

    Nothing's good enough for me
    To shake me from complacency
    I've made my mind up
    I won't make a sound
    And I will not turn my whole life upside down
