[Intro: spoken]
3, 4...

[Verse 1]
I’m the lesser of two evils
Or am I, am I tricking myself nice?
If I’m the lesser of two evils
Who’s this man, who’s this act I hide behind?

[Chorus]
There are two ways to skin tonight
Let’s see whose road gets there faster
This is a game no wrongs no right
Only a winner and a loser

You and I, oh you and I
We’re not that different you and I
Oh you and I, you and I
We’re not that different you and I

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
Well I'm the lesser of two evils
So keep looking, just keep looking into my eyes
And as the lesser of two evils
It pays to, pays to be the nice guy sometimes

[Chorus]
There are two ways to skin tonight
Let’s see whose road gets there faster
Here I am hiding in plain sight
If you’re not careful you will lose her

You and I, you and I
We’re not that different you and I
Oh you and I, you and I
We’re not that different you and I

[Outro]
You and I, you and I
We're not that different, you and I

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
