Say What You Want

from Ambient Headroom by Venetic ®

/

about

A retort.

lyrics

You can say just what you want
But it don’t matter to me
Preaching double standards
You’re just too blind to see

You can’t see the light of day
But you carry on as if you do anyway
Telling me what to think and say
As if you think I’m gonna play

You think with a suit and smile
You’ll do just fine
Walk the walk and make the talk
And signify
You step on people all down the line
Think you’ll reach the promised land with your lying?
It ain’t gonna help you
When you’re dying


You can say just what you want
But it don’t matter to me
Preaching double standards
You’re just too blind to see

So you went to the right school
Read all the right books
Take as much care with your thoughts
As with your looks

Put me under the microscope
Try to treat me like a joke
Poke around for anomalies
Because I don’t
fit
Have to watch what I say
Or you’ll get frantic
For you it’s third millennium blandness
Android head expansion
Mass-consumer abandon
Forty-five channels is what you want
When forty just won’t do

You can say just what you want
But it don’t matter to me
Preaching double standards
You’re just too blind to see
Just too blind to see

You think we’re all here to be bought and sold
Treated like dirt when we grow old
Brushed aside and trampled on
And taxed till we die

You can say just what you want
But it don’t matter to me
Preaching double standards
You’re just too blind to see

You can say just what you want
It don’t matter to me
Preaching double standards
You’re too blind to see
Too blind to see
Too blind to see
Too blind to see
