Petition Lyrics by Tennis

Young & Old

2011

[Verse 1]
I prefer to think of him
As a man of many means
Of powers extreme
Disposed to the extreme
Nature so determined
He may never change his mind
The only possible excuse
For pretending to be blind

[Chorus]
Petition for a life unknown
To all my predecessors shown
Petition for a life unknown
To all my predecessors shown

[Verse 2]
I can't know the why of this
His motives are mysterious
His anger extreme
Disposed to the extreme
Has he a hidden past
My memories they don't go back
Enough to remember what
I'm supposed to lack

[Chorus]
Petition for a life unknown
To all my predecessors shown
Petition for a life unknown
To all my predecessors shown

[Bridge]
For those who've never had
You keep coming back
You take, take, take away
Till the very last

[Chorus]
Petition for a life unknown
To all my predecessors shown
Petition for a life unknown
To all my predecessors shown
Petition for a life unknown
To all my predecessors shown
Petition for a life unknown
To all my predecessors shown
