Substance W battles The D. Sticker Ensemble by taking an acoustic guitar and vocal track from "Please Don't Take Advantage Just Cause You Can" by The D. Sticker Ensemble and adding arrangements and instruments to it.

lyrics

CHORDS:
Verse: E – A – B – E

Chorus: B – F# - A – E
A – E –B

Bridge: C – D# - A#
C – E

It hits me like a cannonball
It comes in fast, I lose control
Woozy, I stumble and die...inside.

An angel sways across the floor
Sings a song I can't ignore
You know, these are the words that she says

Please don't take advantage just cause you can
Please don't pretend as if it's not all that bad.
Your feet are getting stuck in the sand.
Get out just as fast as you can.

She says, you are all just animals
Opposable thumbed animals.
Obtuse, contorted and fat.

And your neighbors say they can't be sure
If you’re caregivers or murderers?
Just look at the blood on your hands.

Please don't take advantage just cause you can
Please don't pretend as if it's not all that bad.
You got another life in your hands
What's so hard to understand?

(And then a chorus of angels all sang to me)
When you die… You won't fry…
You see that's just a lie… to keep you in line
Just do what's right… while you’re alive.

And please don't take advantage just cause you can
Please don't pretend as if it's not all that bad.

Your feet are getting stuck in the sand
And never doing all that you can to understand your mind won’t expand by submitting to a dastardly plan.

We’re gonna kick you out of the band
And someone needs to gas up the van.
