On and on day to day
With games that you play
'Cause it comes down to
Things that you do and say

And it's all justified
When you're speaking your mind
But when I give my opinion
You think that I'm out of line

Too bad for you
We're shooting straight from the hip
and there's no way
To prove that we ain't legit

How can you know what we feel
When you're not in our head
It's time to chill with yourself and listen up instead

Don't try to play me like some fool
I don't' enjoy your games
You make us out to be so cruel
Because we don't see things your way

The example that you set
Is really warping me
Don't even have a clue
Just what you do to me

Everything I do
You seem to pick apart
I try to be sincere
Despite a change of heart

So push back attack
And be like the rest
You get a thought in your mind
And then you beat it to death

Is it too much to ask
Just to leave me alone
Haven't you heard of respect
Or do you have to be shown?

Don't try to play me like some fool
I don't enjoy your games
You make us out to be so cruel
Because we don't see things your way

One thing
That I've been wondering
Please tell me why
Everyone in the world
Has to be like you

All my life
Been someone on my back
Then you wonder
Why I'm so quick to attack

You never see things
From my point of view
It always seems to come down
To close-minded you

Yeah the scales
Are lifted from my eyes
It took me way too long
Just to realize

I'm no different than you
Nor do I think I'm above
But when it comes to your type
I got no feelings at all

Don't try to play me like some fool
I don't' enjoy your games
You make us out to be so cruel
Because we don't see things your way

One thing
That I've been wondering
Please tell me why
Everyone in the world
Has to be like you
