Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can I have a moment of your time?
Just a single second so you see
That, indeed, we'll be leaving you behind
Far across that line
[Verse 2]
Turn it up so you can hear the bells
Crashing through the clouds
As it rain down the drain, we know all too well
It's a living hell
[Verse 3]
Careful what you say and who you say and who you say it to
Careful what you say and who you say it to
[Verse 4]
Maybe you talked too much
And you were asking for it, asking for it, asking
You can blame bad luck
But you were asking for it, asking for it, asking
[Verse 5]
When all is said and done, you need to tie your tongue
'Cause when you spit on everyone
You were arguing and now
You're asking for it, asking for it, asking
[Verse 6]
Caught up in the gutter once again
Thrashing through the mud
Throwing lies, cutting ties till the sidewalk ends
And the truth begins
[Verse 7]
Power through the point of no return
Famously deranged, all the same
Hope you change if the world is gonna turn
It's none of my concern
[Verse 8]
Careful what you say and who you say and who you say it to
Careful what you say and who you say it to
[Verse 9]
Maybe you talked too much
And you were asking for it, asking for it, asking
You can blame bad luck
But you were asking for it, asking for it, asking
[Verse 10]
When all is said and done, you need to tie your tongue
'Cause when you spit on everyone
You are how you are
You know you're asking for it, asking for it, asking
[Verse 11]
Oh, oh
Oh yeah
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 12]
You are, you are, you are, you are
You are asking for it
You are, you are, you are, you are
You are asking for it
[Verse 13]
Careful what you say and who you say and who you say it to
Careful what you say and who you say it to
[Verse 14]
Maybe you talked too much
And you were asking for it, asking for it, asking
You can blame bad luck
But you were asking for it, asking for it, asking
[Verse 15]
When all is said and done, you need to tie your tongue
'Cause when you spit on everyone
You are how you are
You know you're asking for it, asking for it, asking
[Verse 16]
You know you're asking for it, asking for it
You know you're asking for it, asking
