Lyrics[]
Can't you see I'm easily Bothered by persistence One step from lashing Out at you You want in To get under my skin Call yourself a friend I've got more friends like you What do I do? Is there no standard anymore? What it takes, who I am, where I've been belong? You can't be something you're not Be yourself by yourself Stay away from me A lesson learned in life Known from the dawn of time Respect, walk What did you say? Respect, walk Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me? Run your mouth When I'm not around It's easy to achieve You cry to weak friends That sympathize Can you hear The violins Playing your song? Those same friends Tell me your every word Is there no standard anymore? What it takes, who I am, where I've been belong? You can't be something you're not Be yourself by yourself Stay away from me A lesson learned in life Known from the dawn of time Respect, walk What did you say? Respect, walk Are you talking to me? Respect, walk What did you say? Respect, walk Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me? No way, punk (Solo) Respect, walk What did you say? Respect, walk Are you talking to me? Respect, walk What did you say? Respect, walk Are you talking to me? Are you talking to me? Walk on home, boy!
