It's Time For Drastic Measures They're Not Taking You Seriously

(album: Return To Struggleville - 2009)

And when the music stops, all we have are words merely
So listen up, they're not taking you seriously
And I'd write the words, if I only knew what you needed
Touch you in the heart
Try and stop the bleeding
And all I want is for you to be okay
I'll do anything for you
Just say the word, and I'll write the words
And tell everyone our story
Try and find their hearts, hope they don't ignore me
And all I want is for us to be okay
I'd give my life for you
Just say the word and I'll say the words
It's what I do it's not my choice
They touch me in my heart, I try and give 'em all a voice and hey...
And I don't want it if it's easy
Well I can't have it until I've really worked for it
Because all you'll have is this idiot
But I'll write the words
And if you give me 5 minutes
I might break your heart, but we're just beginning
And all I want is for us to be okay
I'll do anything for you just say the words
And I'll spread the word
AS FAR AS THIS BODY CAN REACH
TRY AND FIND THEIR HEARTS, NO MATTER HOW DEEP
And I'll die for you
I LOVE YOU ALL WITH ALL I AM
I'LL DO ANYTHING FOR YOU JUST SAY THE WORDS
And hey
When I've stopped believing...
I hope you'll pick up all these pieces that I'm leaving
Because you don't want me if I'm cutting all these corners
These corners...

And when the music stops, all we have are words merely
So listen up, they're not taking you seriously
They don't respect you
It might be your managing style
If they neglect you
You might try not being kind
When no one likes you
IT'S TIME TO START DOCKING THEIR PAY
What if they hurt you?
YOU MIGHT TRY FILING A COMPLAINT
But remember sticks and stones and
STICK THOSE STONES
Where you can use 'em again
Make 'em, bruise when you send
That they'll lose in the end when they feel your revenge
But right now's the time, and it's got to be drastic
Trying to hold it all together
With PRAYER and some plastic ties
NO MATTER WHAT THE SIZE
I TRY AND TRY and die
A little DEATH every time I close my eyes and
RESURRECT AND PASS RIGHT BY
A-ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER CHANCE, ANOTHER WINDOW!
But they're not taking you seriously though
HEY!
We're downsizing your accounts
OH NO!
We're all hoping things will bounce
WE GOT TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THE ECONOMY
We have to let you go, because we have
NO MORE MONEY
They're not taking you seriously
YOU'RE OBLIVIOUS AND CAN'T FEEL SHAME
IT MUST BE HOW YOU CARRY YOURSELF
You're the ONLY one to BLAME
So listen up
OH WELL, listen up!

And when I've stopped believing
I hope you'll pick up all these pieces that I'm leaving
Because you don't want me if I'm cutting all these corners
I've been cutting all these corners
These corners...
