The Core - Intellectual

[Intro: Mark Jansen, Simone Simons & Mark Jansen]

We gotta get back to the core

I can't take, take no more

We gotta get back to the core

I can't take no more

[Verse 1: Simone Simons]

I know your love is not what it seems

It's the way you make me doubt my sanity

I know you're gonna take it too far

If you had your way you'd tear my world apart

[Chorus: Simone Simons]

No way we'll ever agree

You're all or nothing, no in between

One day, you'll opеn your eyes

And you're in for a surprisе

Don't tell me how to live my life

[Post-Chorus: Mark Jansen, Simone Simons]

We gotta get back to the core

Oh no, don't tell me black is white

We gotta get back to the core

This is the turning of the tide

[Verse 2: Simone Simons]

So vain, you're truly one of a kind

When I call you out you really lose your mind

So loud, but you've got nothing to say

If I stand my ground you turn and walk away

[Chorus: Simone Simons]

No way to get you to see

You're narrow sighted, so extreme

One day, you'll open your mind

And we'll leave the lies behind

My eyes are finally open wide

[Post-Chorus: Simone Simons, Mark Jansen, both]

We gotta get back to the core

I can't take, take no more

We gotta get back to the core

Feels like we're running out of time

We gotta get back to the core

Oh no, don't tell me wrong is right

We gotta get back to the core

This is the turning of the tide

We gotta get back to the core

Oh no, don't tell me day is night

We gotta get back to the core

I won't surrender to the fight

[Bridge: Simone Simons]

No way we'll ever agree

You're all or nothing, no in between

One day, you'll open your eyes

And you're in for a surprise

There's no way that we'll ever agree

[Outro: Simone Simons, Simone Simons & Mark Jansen]

We gotta get back to the core
