[Talking:]
|
(One time only, (gulp) if you don't
|
Get it right this time, tough shit, tough shit,
|
Everybody ready, tell me when, say when your
|
Rolling here, a one, a two, a one, two, three, die)
|
|
I press my face to the window
|
I ran my fingers through my hair
|
I watched my life go around in a circle
|
And I realized that no body but me cares
|
|
And I saw the hurt of my system
|
And I felt the madness of our faults conforming
|
And I walked around your house for hours
|
And I could feel that you had me in some kinda of stranglehold
|
|
And I don't know why you said those bad things about me
|
Well it must be the way of protecting some kind of crazy pride
|
Yeah you always direct your attention toward others
|
And look you know, it's so easy to see that my wounds have been open wide
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And you can just kid the kid inside so many times
|
You can just kid the kid till he grabs you by the throat
|
And is choking your young ass blind
|
And you just kid the kid till you're walking on the tightrope in my my
|
Mind ??
|
Yeah, you can just kid the kid inside so many times
|
|
Well it wasn't funny, no, when I was bleeding all over the table
|
Yeah, now as I recall, hey it wasn't funny at all
|
But you kept on laughing, huh, like it was some kind of party, yea
|
Your always looking to belittle someone to make you feel tall
|
|
Yea well, it's the same reaction in every situation
|
Do you really think it's so necessary to be so mean
|
Yeah, and it's hard for me to justify my position
|
Yeah, when everything that I'm saying can be said bad about Mr.
|
Springsteen, yea
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Yeah you know
|
|
Yeah, well I really really am the first to desire you ??
|
And I feel so badly for his misery ??
|
Well I'll don't throw five dollars, to get into the kitty ??
|
And I'll bet my ass that this problem isn't me
|
|
Now now don't get me wrong wrong
|
Hey now don't you feel sorry, yeah
|
'Cause there's no one dead or alive that I'd rather be
|
And I've learned to deal with my mortal existence
|
And the moral is, now don't you go believe nothing that you can't see,
|
Yeah
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Yeah, and you can just kid the kid inside so many times, yea
|
|
(Ha ha ha, we'll keep it)
