Track 10 from "It's Five o'clock Somewhere" (1995).
The lyrics written by Slash, it is speculated and considered that he wrote them directing them at former band mate Axle Rose. It had been a year since Slash, Duff, and Matt had left Guns N' Roses.

Lyrics:
You and I have been playing this game for so damn long
And I don't know why
These cards are too old, so I'm gonna fold
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Bye-bye
Yeah

Party's over and all our friends are gone
Was it something I said?
Did we have too much fun?
Guess you missed it, look around
It's never you who's to blame for bringin' everyone down

It's never you who's to blame for setting the stage
You want it your way
Come on, come on, come on

Why don't you take it away?
Take it away
Come on and take it away, take it away
Take it away, take it away
Why don't you take it away?
Take it away

Bad rumors goin' round
Nothin' said from my mouth
Why would you think it's you?
It's hittin' too close to home, now

Is it me or you who carries the weight to deal with your pain?
And don't you hate it, too?
It smothers and drains all the same

Come on, take it away
Take it away
Why don't you take it away?
Take it away
Why don't you take it away?
Take it away
Come on and take it away
Take it away

Come on, take it away
Take it away
Why don't you take it away?
Take it away
Come on and take it away

You and I have been doin' the time for all of your crimes
And I don't know why
It don't make sense, it seems such a waste of time
Bye-bye, bye-bye
