[Intro]
Alright!
[Verse 1]

And you're always cracking the same old lines again
You're well rehearsed on every verse, and that was stated clear
But no one understands your verity
[Saxophone Solo]
[Outro]
To know you is to bait you
And you fell victim to your own denial
Well, I don't mind if you don't mind
You're wastin' all your time
