This Is A Test

Can you recall my taste at all My little faithless one? The fractured lie in your alibi It didn’t help you none And you swore it was an accident From the world of trouble you frequent But you came back wearing that guilty scent This is a test (this is a test) And it’s going to cut you down to scale This is a test (this is a test) And it looks like you’re the failure This is a test (you say you want to make it better) This is a test (but I only want the best) This is a test, this is a test We can make this easy on you or we can make it rough By the way I have to say you didn’t love me enough And you swore it was an accident Are you sure that that is what you meant? When you’re not even competent This is a test (this is a test) And it’s going to cut you down to scale This is a test (this is a test) And it looks like you’re the failure This is a test (you say you want to make it better) This is a test (but I only want the best) This is a test, this is a test This is a test
