Simple Minds

To the left and to the right, I can’t believe that we would fight
It’s all so mediocre anyway
Take me down unto your road where I could filter through the code
There is no other way that’s better paid

You do it so well
Blood Type O - it’s all so long ago
You do it so well
You’re Blood Type O - it's all imaginary
But you do it so well

You build it up and you burn it down
You take the smile and make it frown
I don’t know why you ever won't look back

If it was ever up to me
I’d steal the crown and you would see
I’d take the fight that’s here in front of you

You do it so well
Blood Type O - it's all so long ago
You do it so well
Blood Type O - it’s all imaginary

But you do it so well

You’re Blood Type O

You do it so well
It’s all so long ago
It’s all imaginary
Blood Type O
