lyrics

I'm pressed for time
It's hard to forge it out
The words must flow the topic must feel right
I just hope some words arrive

It's been a constant battle for some time
Nothing worth a damn to fill this page
I think the word defeat applies

No words pop into mind
Someone tied my tongue in a knot
It's like I'm being punished and lockjaw is the price
No words pop into mind
Someone tied my tongue in a knot
It's like I'm being punished and lockjaw is the price

I'm uninspired, have nothing to tell
Middle class, white boy, suburban hell
That's the extent of my tale

I've had a couple ideas here and there
Jotted down some lines and little bits
It's hard to make all these words fit

No words pop into mind
Someone tied my tongue in a knot
It's like I'm being punished and lockjaw is the price
No words pop into mind
Someone tied my tongue in a knot
It's like I'm being punished and lockjaw is the price

I have nothing too profound to say
Everything I want to say has been said
Political themes are not my thing
I wish I could write from experience

Nothing worth a damn to say
Can't put this pen to page
The words I choose aren't in good taste
I feel defeat's embrace for about the thousandth time

No words pop into mind
Someone tied my tongue in a knot
It's like I'm being punished and lockjaw is the price
No words pop into mind
Someone tied my tongue in a knot
It's like I'm being punished and lockjaw is the price
No words pop into mind
Someone tied my tongue in a knot
It's like I'm being punished and lockjaw is the price
