Lyrics
They tell me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They tell me what they do,
I don't know what they're talking about,
They tell me what they do,
I don't understand what they're talking about,
They're talking about it.
I did not start this conversation,
I don't intend to keep talking about it,
They tell me about it.
Maybe if i pray to the lord above,
I'll get some sleep,
But the lord don't give a shit about me.
They tell me what they do,
How can I help it, how can I help it,
