Strongarm

[Verse]
Pent up and chewed up
Pent up and chewed up
At a fleeting glance
Misconstrued in the mood
For assistance
Flames fanned with compliance
We have fallen foul
We have fallen foul
And forced the striking hand
Indiscriminate and loathe
To now backtrack
See red and fight fast

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Punishment is somehow always due
Somewhere down the line
Until this realisation dawns
Spare the rod
And you'll arise
Spare it
Spare the rod
Spare the rod and you'll arise
Arise
Spare the rod
You'll arise
You'll arise
You'll arise

[Chorus]
A strong-arm is for bleak times
But spare this rod and arise

[Verse]
Pent up and chewed up
Pent up and chewed up
At a fleeting glance
Misconstrued in the mood
For assistance
Flames fanned with compliance
We have fallen foul
We have fallen foul
And forced the striking hand
Indiscriminate and loathe
To now backtrack
See red and fight fast

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Flurries of blows to tenuously prove that
Dialogue rarely makes things right
Until this realisation dawns
Talk it through
Gain insight
Talk through
Talk it through
Talk it through, gain insight
Talk through
Talk it through
Gain insight
Gain insight
Gain insight

[Chorus 2]
A strong-arm is for bleak times
But talk it through, gain insight

[Outro]
So spare this rod and arise
Spare this rod and arise
Spare this rod and arise
Spare this rod
