lyrics

Back to the wolves, back to the wolves with you
There is nothing more that I can do
I held you're hand for as long as I can but it's either me or you
I vote you
I vote you
I vote you
I vote you

Back to the wolves, back to the wolves with you
There is nothing more that I can do
I held you're hand for as long as I can but it's either me or you
I vote you
I vote you
They vote you
We vote you

So to the quacks, to the quacks with you
With his pills, and his potions, and his queues
Awkward silence side by side in the waiting room
Well what a surprise, across the divide
We've grown conflicting views

So to the forest
To the trees
Tonight you're sleeping in the leaves
Give the spider time to build his web between your knees?

To the detritus, don't try to fight us
To the detritus, don't look so righteous
You're going where you can do no more harm

Back to the wolves!
Back to the wolves!
Back to the wolves!
Back to the wolves!
You were with the wolves for some time
Did said wolves take your spine?
You're going to have to prop yourself up for now
You can no longer use mine

You're with the wolves
You're with the wolves
You're willing prey
That's what they say
That's what I heard
That's what they say
You're willing prey
You're willing prey
You're willing prey
