“Tongue Tied” is the eighth track off of Eve 6’s 1998 self titled debut album. It was released as one of five singles off the album.
One thousand faces all look the same
They're all so boring mild and tame
Contaminate him knock off his glasses
Teach him to tamper with the cloning process
Pardon me sir can I ask you a favor
Make me a cowboy like my next door neighbor
Pardon me sir can I use your eraser
To remove my brain of unconventional nature
Take my tongue
It's cocked and loaded
The board has dubbed you "special student"
Sit alone sweat in silence
We don't tolerate defiance
One thousand paces lead to the gate
They're all so boring mild sedate
You hear me say this don't make any sense
As I hop up and over the fence
Take my tongue
It's cocked and loaded
The board has dubbed you "special student"
Sit alone sweat in silence
We don't tolerate defiance
Hooked on nicotine and phonics
Fun like macro economics
Still and quiet like they taught us
Fun like macro economics
Vigilante thoughts and a cheap guitar
I am my own movie star
I don't know you
I don't want to
I don't know you
And I don't want to
Take my tongue
It's cocked and loaded
You've been dubbed a "special student"
So you sit alone sweat in silence
We don't tolerate defiance
Vigilante thoughts and a cheap guitar
I am my own movie star
I don't know you
I don't want to
I don't know you
And I don't want to, yeah
