about

A song about people trying to get one over on you and being smart enough to walk away and let them have themselves.

lyrics

I think you’ve said too much. If you didn’t couldn’t, wouldn’t would you tell me to stop? I think you boast enough. If you didn’t, couldn’t, wouldn’t would you still say stop? Hey, let’s hope your cloud doesn’t pop. You’re so high on yourself you won’t survive the drop. You don’t want this ride to stop. It’s a merry-go-round on my dime and your times about up.

Tell me what would you sell me if I was just a little bit dumber and you were just a little bit smarter? Something, you want something for nothing and you’re working so hard at bringing me down, breaking my bones, bringing me…tell me; what would you sell me? Tell me what would you sell me?

Rise and shine, it’s a brand new day for you to live my life. And I apologize to the next unlucky soul who thinks he has found some prize.
