Good Ol' Boys

Don't, don't, don't bite your tongue
Wait a minute, peel the paint
From the walls, dig a hole
Lay down in it and please wait
Wait, wait for the gun
Shoot the apple from my head
Tie a rope to a comet
Build a tip around your bed
Let's talk, talk is cheap
What's the point
If it's pointless, change your mind
Nothing sacred ever dies
Plastic spoons, swollen feet
Pinch a penny, nice and clean
Save a little learn a lot
Change the world or leave it be
Watching while the good old boys swallow a bullet
Wondering when I should've been quit
I heard them say that there's nothing left worth fighting for
But I say that that's a crock of...
I'm in the dark with a wet pack of matches
Retracing footsteps to see where I went wrong
And light shines through the keyhole
And pokes me in the eye
If I ask myself the question
I'll probably tell a lie
Music in my head never sounded right on paper
I'll write myself a note and turn the note into a song
If you've never done without
You won't appreciate you've got it
You've always done without
You've learned to take what you can get
Watching while the good old boys swallow a bullet
Wondering when I should've been quit
I heard them say that there's nothing left worth fighting for
But I say that that's a crock of...
