So you said you've been a far whisper
but I say I can hear you clearly boy
no matter what you do
You are always so much louder than me
you take up lots of s***e
taking mine away
But you don't seem to mind
so don't be surprised to hear
that I don't think you're kind
I have you on my mind
when I think of things I dislike
no matter what you do
I don't want to become like you
The sea couldn't pull me in
and so can't you
though you think you do
And I don't tell the truth
cause sometimes, you know
it takes a little while
till the words are found
that match my sound
Just because I'm slow
doesn't mean to go
just as far till I let you know
to stop to quit to leave to cease
You think my life's too much about things I don't like
I complain too much, nurture my anger too much
but hear what I tell you, boy
I can just as well undress
leave all this mess
It's not that I have chosen
the world that I live in
the only thing I chose is
to not be too happy
when things aren't like that
My hours of bliss
are there, be sure
but I choose carefully
with whom to share
So boy, beware
cause all I got for you
is my anger, my contempt
Have you ever spent a thought or two
on things not concerning you
what you call pain
is a vain attempt
to get all the attention needed
to nurture your ego
nurture your ego
But I'm not a mother
no, I'm not a mother
go find yourself someone other
but I say I can hear you clearly boy
no matter what you do
You are always so much louder than me
you take up lots of s***e
taking mine away
But you don't seem to mind
so don't be surprised to hear
that I don't think you're kind
I have you on my mind
when I think of things I dislike
no matter what you do
I don't want to become like you
