lyrics

I think about in the days of old
How your words used to mean something
Now you can't trust a thing you say
Right now, it's "us" against "them"
If you're cutthroat and you're smart
You'll get rewarded with a heap of praise
But even with everything going on
I don't pine for those old days
If I try to be understood, then I'll be misquoted
If I reach for sympathy, then I'll be ignored
Looking out for yourself is a trap we fall in
No matter why we're lonely

Say what you mean
Mean what you say

I think about all the time I've spent
Wishing you'd act a different way
You never care about anyone else
And you've got to have your say
It's gonna be what it's gonna be
I just wish it'd all end soon
When everyone's fed up with your ego
Tell me then what you're gonna do
If I try to be understood, then I'll be misquoted
If I reach for sympathy, then I'll be ignored
Looking out for yourself is a trap we fall in
No matter why we're lonely

Say what you mean
Mean what you say
