You've got a good thing going
Words are wind, and you keep blowing
They try to swim
And you yell, "drown!"
What you can't do
You just tear down
Don't dream
Don't reach
Don't look inside
Just keep it cool enough to hide
Stop! Stop!
Your human's showing
Gotta keep those tears from flowin'
Don't create, just criticize
Play it safe
Off to the side
Yeah, you can't lose if you don't try
Play it cool
Close to the vest
Don't show your hand
Don't do your best
Why hold out hope
They'd understand
Just push it down
Just, "be a man"
Don't dream
Don't reach
Don't look inside
Just keep it cool enough to hide
Stop! Stop!
Your human's showing
Gotta keep those tears from flowin'
Don't create, just criticize
Play it safe
Off to the side
It's what you hate about yourself
The flaws in everybody else
That you don't like
It's not the barrel of a gun
To see where someone's coming from
Before you strike
Stop! Stop!
Your human's showing
Gotta keep those tears from flowin'
Don't create, just criticize
Play it safe
Off to the side
Yeah, you can't lose if you don't try
