Addition by Subtraction Lyrics by Ben Weasel

These Ones Are Bitter

2007

Addition by subtraction, sometimes it's the only way
Once reduced to fractions, some girls just can't stand to stay
Chop 'em up into a million pieces
Watch 'em try to stay together
Wind 'em up and send 'em on their way forever
Division by omission is a plan that never fails
Making it your mission is about all it entails
Now there's a certain kind of masochism only seen in special cases
Let 'em stick around so you can see their faces
[Guitar lead]
Addition by subtraction means you never need to lie
Go looking for action while she stays at home and cries
Love is blind, and if you take advantage
Deaf and dumb are quick to follow
Use her up, then leave and start again tomorrow
[Guitar lead]
If I'm going down, you're going with me [x4]
