| 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 and 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 talkin' to me, are you talkin' 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 talkin' to me? |
| Respect, walk, what did you say? |
| Respect, walk, are you talkin' to me, are you talkin' to me? |
| No way, punk |
|
| Respect, walk, what did you say? |
| Respect, walk, are you talkin' to me? |
| Respect, walk, what did you say? |
| Respect, walk, are you talkin' to me, are you talkin' to me? |
| Walk on home, boy |
