Initiative

[Verse 1]
You’re holding your breath
It’s a particular kind of stress
You have a razor-sharp tongue
When you want to, is it now?
You’re losing the game
It’s a belligerent style of play
And you’re resisting the change
Just when you need to
Show me how

[Chorus]
Initiative
Why can’t you show some initiative?
Initiative
Why can’t you show some?

[Verse 2]
I’m not holding your hand
It’s not your typical way out
But when the crunch time come around, around
You move to the back of the line
I think I know what you need
And are you listening carefully?
(You seem so sorry)
When you have to, is it now?

[Chorus]
Initiative
Why can’t you show some initiative?
Initiative
Why can’t you show some?

[Verse 3]
You’re holding your breath
It’s a particular kind of stress
You have a razor-sharp tongue
When you want to, is it now?
I’m not holding your hand
It’s not your typical way out
But when the crunch time come around, around
You move to the back of the line

[Chorus]
Initiative
Why can’t you show some initiative?
Initiative
Why can’t you show some initiative?
Initiative
Why can’t you show some?
