Once again I wasn't listening
Now I'm diffusing nitroglycerin
Strapped to my chest like a suicide vest
When it comes to explosives I'm the best
Debonaire and devastating
I'm demonstrating deescalating
Celebrating your speculating
Is he digging a hole or is he excavating
She said you can only play three chords
I said I like every one
Keeping is simple doesn't mean it's stupid
And complicated doesn't mean it's fun
You'd think I'd learn
To cross the bridge before it burns You'd think I'd learn
But that's not happening today
You'd think I'd learn
To watch my back when it is turned
Once again I feel the knife
Between my shoulder blades
And it stays
Public streetwise education
I blink my eyes and it's another situation
Jump right in without hesitation
How long until my graduation
They say the key is repetition
I say watch this demolition
Here we go another expedition
Fucked up beyond all recognition
She said you can only play three chords
I said I hate every one
Keeping is simple doesn't mean it's stupid
And complicated doesn't mean it's fun
You'd think I'd learn
To cross the bridge before it burns You'd think I'd learn
But that's not happening today
You'd think I'd learn
To watch my back when it is turned
Once again I feel the knife
Between my shoulder blades
And it stays
She said you can only play three chords
I said I love everyone
Keeping is simple doesn't mean it's stupid
And complicated doesn't mean it's fun
You'd think I'd learn
To cross the bridge before it burns
You'd think I'd learn
But that's not happening today
You'd think I'd learn
To watch my back when it is turned
Once again I feel the knife Between my shoulder blades
You'd think I'd learn
To shut my mouth and wait my turn You'd think I'd learn
But that's not happening tonight
You'd think I'd learn
When it's past the point of no return Once again I get it wrong
Will I ever get it right
Not tonight
