Forced to the wall,
the crosshairs shift from this tied down burden: Courage.
What did you expect?
A nightmare of reason and faith alike.
Because you take shots, my back's turned, you're gutless.
You think you're saving face
But I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what.
As far as you're concerned the next breath that you take should be underwater.
You're worthless. You've been told once before.
This time you're gonna get back a little more than you paid for.
Forced to the wall the record skips and this satellite sense is detecting.
You run for cover. A nightmare, a vision, a quota, a reason.
You take shots, my back's turned, you're gutless.
You think you're saving face but first things first,
this is a matter of egos and how every single shot you take
Is taken in weakness and vain.
Place your bets, it's a matter of context.
You said it, you mean it, you want it, you've got it.
I've been waiting far too long for this.
You take shots, my back's turned, you're gutless, and you've got no spine at all.
I've been waiting, I've been waiting for...
Take your shot, and be on your way, and be on your
Spill fiction while my back is turned, when you've got an easy target.
Build stregth, and your heart is gone.
You tell my back that you're more courageous.
We've got our souls held in this dark hotel room.
You're taking chances for the worst and the worst is yet to come.
Place your bets, it's a matter of…
You said it, you mean it, you want it, you've got it.
I've been waiting far too long for…
You take shots, my backs turnd, your gutless.
And you've got no spine at all
I've been waiting, I've been waiting for...
Show a litte backbone.
In this hole we've dug, you're never crawling out alive.
You won't make it too far, you won't get too far.
In this home we've made, you're never welcome again.
You wont make it too far, you wont get to far, to far.
Place your bets son, pay your ransom,
Place your bets son, pay your ransom.
You don't know what it is to regret.
You don't know what it is to regret.
You don't know what it is to regret.
You don't know what it is...
You don't know what it is to regret.
You don't know what it is to regret.
You don't know what it is to regret.
You don't know...

Review about In Our Defense Get A Clue! | Reviewer: KloeValentinexx | 8/19/09
This is a great song, one of my favourite TAI... tracks.
But;; all you guys saying Fall Out Boy and The Academy Is... have never met or any shit like that, get a clue.
The label TAI... is under is Fueled By Ramen/Decaydance. Take a guess who owns FBR/DD?
Pete Wentz! TAI..., Panic At The Disco, Cobra Starship, Gym Class Heroes, and heaps of other bands are under FBR/DD, and they all work with eachother!
For example, in the video for FOB song "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me", William Beckett AND Brendan Urie [from PATD] are BOTH the evil vampires in the clip.
A cross video, "We've Got A Big Mess On Our Hands" and "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" are linked through the interlude in each.
So seriously, if you're gonna make a statement as blunt as the ones below, make sure you can back it the fuck up.
TAI... should sound like this again. | Reviewer: Guess | 1/22/09
This is song is amazing. It's full of angst and definitely plays out the emotions of the decieved way well than I ever could. TAI... sounds better in this EP than Fast Times.
I disagree with you, Alicia. Fall Out Boy has nothing to do with this song when it was written. I doubt the two bands even met yet. Also, it doesn't sound like FOB. I can't hear Patrick in any part of the song.
Fall Out Boy can suck my toes | Reviewer: Umm no... | 12/16/08
Sorry but this band was not in anyway associated with the piece of failure you call "Fall Out Boy" when this song was recorded. This song was recorded way before the guys from FOB had pubes or thousands of teeny bopper, loser, pre-pubescent fans. Pete Wentz is a fag.
I LOVE The Academy Is... and Fall Out Boy is my FAVORITE band ever. This song is so awesome, but I musy say I didn't know who sang it for the longest. That does NOT sound like Beckett AT ALL. I was so shocked to learm that this was an Academy Is song. It sounds ALOT like Fall Out Boy, especially the lyrics they have PETE WENTZ written all over them. And Beckett even has a lil Patrick tone in this one. But it is very awesome. Good job TAI!!
