[Verse 1]
\nDid you take the bait
\nOr stop! Saying (“Wait!”)
\n‘stead did you bait and switch
\nOr is it hard to tell (which?)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nIs it naivety
\n(Or stupidity)
\nClaiming destiny
\n(Will set you free)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nTaking the bait
\n(No, couldn’t wait)
\nWoe, took the bait
\n(Hook, line, and weight)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nSo how does it taste
\nIn the wake of haste (… the waste)
\nDidn’t know which
\n(Ate both bait and switch)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nIs it naivety
\n(Or stupidity)
\nClaiming destiny
\n(Will set you free)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nTaking the bait
\n(No, couldn’t wait)
\nWoe, took the bait
\n(Hook, line, and weight)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nAte the bait
\n(No, couldn’t wait)
\nNo debate
\n(Hook, line, and weight)<\/p>\n
