Lay Down the Law

This song is not about you
 It's not about me
 It's about the blood and the blade
 Stabbed into the back of somebody
 Somebody is someone who is stable
 But still remains unable to really be himself
 Cause if he were he
 Then she would still be with somebody
 And not someone else
 Someone else...
 This song is not about me
 And the battles that I've won
 It's about the warped kitchen floor
 From the water left on to run
 And the pile of dirty dishes
 That is never done
 And the ashes in the sink
 Floating in the water
 Somebody doesn't wanna have to
 But somebody oughtta
 Lay down the law, don't change your style
 Lead on to leave
 Baby come on back for a while
 Lay down the law, don't change your style
 Lead on to leave
 Baby come on back for a while
 For a while...
 This song is a survey of scenes somebody sees
 Masked with melodies
 There's no way to let go, no way to forget
 That there's nowhere to grow
 Just the room to regret
 Where she holds him back confined to a space
 But she holds somebody in the first place
 Lay down the law, don't change your style
 Lead on to leave
 Baby come on back for a while
 Lay down the law, don't change your style
 Lead on to leave
 Baby come on back for a while
 For a while...
 Somebody is stranded light years from home
 On a planet where people
 Are not like his own
 Where they pay to be brainwashed
 And told what to see
 And not many dare question authority
 Where a sick television is coughing up blood
 And it stains every life and it's starting to flood
 Fills the holes in our brains
 As it pours from the screens
 And it stains the newspapers and the magazines
 Lay down the law, don't change your style
 Lead on to leave
 Baby come on back for a while
 Lay down the law, don't change your style
 Lead on to leave
 Baby come on back for a while
 Lay down the law
 Lay down the law
 Don't change your style
 Don't change
 Lay down the law
 Lay down the law
 Lay down the law
