(Skatenigs)
Yeah, it’s nice to meet you, but there’s something on my mind
Before we go any further, let’s not waste each other’s time
Do you talk about the things you’re sure of? Are they the things that count?
Cancel that check for reality; if you know it’s going to bounce
You can talk out your ass and you can wave that banner high
Be proud that you’ve convinced yourself of an unimportant lie
I destroy what you believe because through my own eyes I see
That you’re living in a made-up world that just doesn’t work for me
Say what you mean! Mean what you say!
Lying to yourself will be the price that you pay!
Say what you mean! Mean what you say!
Lying to yourself will be the price that you pay!
It’s oh, so familiar, it’s simple what I ask
Like a flag with no allegiance, you’re talking out your ass
[1:44 – guitar solo]
The luxury of deception I refuse to afford
Your ways of inconsistency I choose to ignore
It’s your choice to be blind, unaware of what’s around
But do us both a favor, and choke reality down
Say what you mean! Mean what you say!
Lying to yourself will be the price that you pay!
Say what you mean! Mean what you say!
Lying to yourself will be the price that you pay!
It’s oh, so familiar, it’s simple what I ask
Like a flag with no allegiance, you’re talking out your ass
[2:52 – guitar solo]
Facts remain the same; only fools can be fooled
You’re convinced of your own bullshit trying to be cool
How about this for irony? Your next words could be your last
When you spend your life talking shit and die talking out your ass
Say what you mean! Mean what you say!
Lying to yourself will be the price that you pay!
Say what you mean! Mean what you say!
Lying to yourself will be the price that you pay!
Lying to yourself will be the price that you pay!
