[Verse 1]
Well, I've been watching, while you've been coughing
I've been drinking life, while you've been nauseous
And so I drink to health, while you kill yourself

[Chorus]
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me, yeah
[Verse 2]

And I won't preach to you, but here's a caution
You better understand, that I won't hold your hand
But if it helps you mend, then I won't stop it
[Chorus]
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me, yeah
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me, yeah
[Bridge]
Drown if you want, and I'll see you at the bottom

Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me, yeah
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me
Go on and save yourself
And take it out on me, yeah

Cochise the Avenger, fearless and resolute, attacked everything in his path with an unbridled fury. This song kinda sounds like that.
