Lyrics

i shouldn't talk

some people sit, and brood all day
they hate everyone, nothing pleasant to say
i'm never like that, but maybe i am--i shouldn't talk

now these people have purpose, their cars and their hair
and equally consumed by the clothes that they wear
i'm nothing like that, but maybe i am--i shouldn't talk

i've got intention and design--that's got to be worth something
if nothing then that's fine
i know the rain will reach the ground--and when i'm gone
the falling trees and rain still make their sound

if you're nothing really special, concerned that you're fake
whenever you're confronted you quiver and shake
you're nothing like me, but maybe you are--i shouldn't talk

you can put yourself down, that's a clever disguise
it's all part of the plan--you'll look humble and wise
i'm never like that, but maybe i am--i shouldn't talk

i've got intention and design--that's got to be worth something
if nothing then that's fine
i'm not as easy as the rain--but then again
the weather's always changing, i'm the same
