You say what you say
What is more to do? You can run triple plays And retire the entire other crew But you never knew You were falling behind You were always told To run in a straight line The diamonds shine pretty But the beauty's deep inside Yet you refused to crack it open For fear of what you'd find And though all the stores close at 10 Your heart still beats on beyond then You bought what they sold And did all you were told You hardened the mold Let it sit til it was cold Made rules out of clay And called your day play Call yourself a rebel Now you're going to hell Am I going too fast For your straight A's in class Chorus: - What's that in your song? Is it more than 5 minutes long? Did you pour in air til it was full? Show meeeeeee Or is there nothing to show? - You've painted starry skies To dazzle human eyes And sell as merchandize Pretty persuasive lies You've written your book Your whole life's how long it took It doesn't show your age Coz you penned it in your cage While talking to the man who held the key And convinced you inside was your home Coz you always felt welcome Because you were never alone Never ran out of friends to love Or enemies to hate Which is which all depends on What side you were on when one locked the gate And you sing your song tonight But I've heard it all before And its possible when you sing it tomorrow You'll show me nothing more There's nothing I can show you Until it springs to your realization I can't and won't give you the key It's all in my imagination Call yourself a rebel Now you're going to hell Am I going to fast For your straight A's in class Chorus I just don't have a song To boost your state of mind To do so before you're ready Would be inexcusably unkind Wonder why you look away from me Coz you're really missing out But I guess that true freedom is something You'd be more comfortable without I'll admit your song comes from the heart And you inked it with a pen of gold But I just don't give a shit Gold's worthless to me when your heart's the same old Copyright (c) 2003-2016 Joshua Ransom Packard
