Sabotage (Live on SNL) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Awwww
I can't stand it, I know you planned it
I'm-a set it straight, this Watergate
I can't stand rockin' when I'm in here
Cause your crystal ball ain't so crystal clear
So while you sit back and wonder why
I got this [censored] thorn in my side
Oh my god, it's a mirage
I'm tellin' y'all, it's sabotage

[Verse 2]
So, so, so, so listen up, cause you can't say nothin'
You'll shut me down with a push of your button
But, yo, I'm out and I'm gone
I'll tell you now, I keep it on and on

[Verse 3]
Cause what you see, and what you get
And we can bet, so don't you get souped yet
Gone

I'm trying to tell you now, it's sabotage

[Pre-Chorus]
Whhhhhyyyyyy
[Chorus]
Listen all'a'y'all, it's a sabotage
Listen all'a'y'all, it's a sabotage
Listen all'a'y'all, it's a sabotage
Listen all'a'y'all

[Verse 4]
I can't stand it, I know you planned it
I'm-a set it straight, this Watergate
But I can't stand rockin' when I'm in this place
I feel disgrace you're all in my face
But make no mistakes and switch up my channel
I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle
What could it be -- it's a mirage
You're scheming on a thing, that's sabotage

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
