[Verse 1]
I don't need no crystal ball to see what's coming
I can see the end is at my fingertips
Love me, love me, everything has turned to nothing
I don't need no crystal ball
[Verse 1]
I don't need no crystal ball to see what's coming
I can see the end is at my fingertips
Love me, love me, everything has turned to nothing
I don't need no crystal ball
[Chorus]
I'm gonna give it up now before you take it away
I'm gonna throw the first stone before you're doing the same
You never gave me a reason to believe you would stay
So now I'm going to say what you were going to say, say, say
I'm gonna say, g-gonna say
[Verse 2]
Everybody, every angle on a mission
Selling you like alcohol and cigarettes
So light the fire
I'm smoking out your tunnel vision
I don't need no crystal ball
I don't need no crystal ball
[Chorus]
I'm gonna give it up now before you take it away
I'm gonna throw the first stone before you're doing the same
You never gave me a reason to believe you would stay
So now I'm going to say what you were going to say, say, say
I'm gonna say, g-gonna say
[Bridge]
Yeah, I might have seen the future
You know, it ate me up
So beat you to the punch and
Tell you that I've had enough
I might have seen the future
You know, it ate me up
So beat you to the punch and
Tell you that I've had enough
I've had enough, I've had enough
You know, I've had enough
[Chorus]
I'm gonna give it up now before you take it away
I'm gonna throw the first stone before you're doing the same
You never gave me a reason to believe you would stay
So now I'm going to say what you were going to say, say, say
I'm gonna say, g-gonna say
