| No Apologies |
HankA
|
There are no more today | 1 |
for they have ceased to be heard | 2 |
| |
for the past, the present, and the future. | 3 |
You can kiss it away, you can wave good-bye, | 4 |
I suppose it never really suit you. | 5 |
| |
You give no apologies | 6 |
It doesn't even cross your mind | 7 |
Theres no need to say it anymore | 8 |
because you've gotten away with it all this time | 9 |
| |
So march!! and barrel right on through. | 10 |
It's not your fault if they get shoved aside | 11 |
It's not your fault they would not move. | 12 |
| |
So march!!, and shove them out of the way | 13 |
Isn't this how we like it? | 14 |
Isn't this how we love to play? | 15 |
| |
Your heart is growing hard.. | 16 |
and you don't even know it. | 17 |
| |
You've forgotten what it means to be...sympathetic | 18 |
You've forgotten what it means to be...apologetic | 19 |
| |
and for those who can remember..... | 20 |
very rarely do they show it | 21 |
| |
You give no apologies | 22 |
For they've taken on irrelevance | 23 |
There's no need to say it anymore | 24 |
And now we have Malevolence | 25 |
| |
So march! Worry not about what they think of you | 26 |
Worry not about what they say | 27 |
Or what they might do to you. | 28 |
| |
So march! and embrace insensitivity | 29 |
Stop at nothing! Keep on going!! | 30 |
Annihilate civility | 31 |
| |
Is this what you want? | 32 |
Is this what you crave? | 33 |
| |
From this banquet you wish to feed? | 34 |
This is how you wish to behave? | 35 |
| |
I respectfully decline | 36 |
I shall let the army pass. | 37 |
I am not afraid to say I'm sorry | 38 |
I am not afraid to come in last. | 39 |
| |
So, wont you reconsider stop the fighting | 40 |
and the noise, and all the fuss, | 41 |
| |
You'll marvel at how much you can accomplish | 42 |
| |
When you finally start to think of us. | 43 |
