You line them up
Look at your shoes
You hang names on your wall
Then you shoot them allYou fly around in planes
That bring you down
To meet me who loves you, like
Me crashing to the groundAre you so lonely?
You don't even know me
But you'd like to stone meMr. Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on homeI used to treat you right
Give you my time
But when I'd turn my back on you
Then you do what you doYou've just enough, in my own view
Education to perform
I'd like to shoot you all
And then you go home
With you on your own
What do you really know?Mr, Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on homeAnd then you go home
With you on your own
What do you even know?Mr. Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on homeMr. Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it always is?
Before you go on homeMr. Writer, why don't you tell it like it really is?
Why don't you tell it like it always is?
Before you go on home
