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?

[Pre]
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
lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time

 [bad word] 
Respect, walk
 [bad word] 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 
lesson learned in life 
Known from the dawn of time

Re-spec, walk
What did you say?
Re-Sect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
 [bad word] 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 
lesson learned in life 
Known from the dawn of time

What did you say?
Re-spect, walk
Are you talking to me?

What did you say?
Re-spect, Walk
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
No way punk!
