If life is so unfair, and truth is so unkind
Then why don't you sit and bite your lip
While my words waste your time
Although I never said that I was always right
I've got this feeling you've been reeling
In everything in sight
Don't take the words we say
And twist them up and turn them around
To find exactly what they mean
Don't blame the glaring stare
Of discontent for your authority
Fighting the sentence of redundancy
Don't want to be so bleak
The kids don't understand
They don't hear a word you say
So shut your yap while they talk back
And listen for a change
Although I never said that I was always right
I've got this feeling you'll be hearing
Something worth your while
Don't take the words we say
And twist them up and turn them around
To find exactly what they mean
Don't blame the glaring stare
Of discontent for your authority
Fighting the sentence of redundancy
Don't want to be so bleak
There comes a time
There comes a place
Where all your ties
Become erased
It's in this time
I want to give
It's in this place
I want to live
Don't take the words we say
And twist them up and turn them around
To find exactly what they mean
Don't blame the glaring stare
Of discontent for your authority
Fighting the sentence of redundancy
Don't want to be so bleak
