Take Notes

from Whispered History EP by Yaupon

lyrics

You think you’re hilarious, you better take notes
When all of your diatribes have all the same jokes
You never apologize for breaking off limbs
Sew them together now for your appendage

But sometime you might try to take a walk
Past all the suits on your protected block
Just take a step down carefully off your gold-coated soapbox
And talk to me with your hands at your sides

No velvet ropes or credits earned
Now that the bubble has been burst
You’re going to get a whopper right there where it hurts
Take notes

You think you’re American in your spangled-star cloak
Spouting core principles with snot in your throat
Splattered on documents in bold comic sans
Raised up for all to view and cry on command

But sometime you might try to take a walk
Past all the suits on your protected block
Just take a step down carefully off your gold-coated soapbox
And talk to me with your hands at your sides

No velvet ropes or credits earned
Now that the bubble has been burst
You’re going to get a whopper right there where it hurts
Perk up to all words that are spoke
From all the ones that need you most
You’re going to learn that love and freewill can’t be owned
Take notes
