Don't say a word Choose them carefully They're like bullets in the air You should aim your gun before you pull the trigger Or maybe you should just put it away
You've got it bad And no one understands There's a storm inside your mind Lightning never chooses where it will strike But it can burn a bridge right to the ground Oh you think they all agree Most definitely you're in the right Or they tell you what you want to hear Secretly they feel your unrestrained spite
If you demand respect Fear is what you'll get You'll never hear an honest word You'll buy right into it Your ego left unchecked And you'll mistake all these strangers for your friends
These people aren't your friends Oh, these people aren't your friends
They'll try to dance on your broken glass Then pull the shards out when you're gone Then they'll curse your name Renounce every flattering word that they said to you
Don't say a word Choose them carefully They're like bullets in the air You should aim your gun before you pull the trigger Or maybe you should just put it away
