You Think You Can Tame Me?

I don’t suppose that you’ll condemn
if we declare a fight?
I don’t suppose you’ll hit us back
if we rampage through the night?
I don’t suppose you’ll do anything!
So I suppose you’ll never tame them.

I don’t know if you can suss
that you threats are hollow and plain
I don’t think you’ve got what it takes
to change ‘em or keep ‘em sane.

I don’t know if you're man enough,
but I do know that you can’t tame us.

I don’t think that you can see
we’re wild and alive today
I don’t think you want to know
You’ve turned now and ran away
I don’t think you’ll ever succeed
But I do think you won’t tame me

I’m not sure if what you do
can change the final outcome
I’m not sure if you're up to the job
or if you're afraid, another one?

I’m not sure if it’s me who’s scared...
of being tamed by you.
