lyrics

Don’t tell me that you mean it like you mean it
Don’t tell me that you mean it like you mean it
Don’t ask me move from the dents I’ve worn in this old comfy chair
Don’t tell me that you mean it like you mean it
Don’t tell me that you mean it like you mean it
Don’t you dare stand up and really show you care

I’m comfortable in my slow slide down
rather be an empty suit than some damned clown
I’m quiet, respectable, pious and clean
not some box of noise out to make a scene

Don't tell me...

Nothing you can say will turn my head
Got a good life here – exciting as lead
Can’t move me off my chosen line
toward a quiet room with vats of empty time

Don't tell me...

Ah, take that passion somewhere else
don’t you care about us, don’t you care about yourself
Ah, take that passion somewhere else
don’t you dare try to dare me off that shelf

Don't tell us...

You troublemakers are all the same
trying to hold my hand to an open flame
What the hell do you want me to feel
break my jeweled egg on your frying pan of real?

Don't tell me...
