You line em' up

look at your shoes

you hang names on your wall

then you shoot them all



You fly around in planes

that bring you down

to meet me who loves you

like me crashing to the ground



Are you so lonely

you don't even know me

but you'd like to stone me



Mr writer why dont you tell it like it is

why don't you tell it like it really is

before you go on home



I used to treat you right

give you my time

but when i turn my back on you

then you do what you do



You've just enough in my own view

education to perform

i'd like to kiss you all



And 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 dont you tell it like it really is

before you go on home



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 really is

why don't you tell it like it always is

before you go on home



Mr 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
