Civilized

I've got quite a mouthful going here
Maybe I should spit it in your face
I been back and forth and up and down again
Maybe you should stay below the waist
You said nothing's to negotiate
But you could still appreciate my point
I'm rolling up beginnings
And you've been smoking up the ends 'til you explode
Come on now, explode
Why can't we keep this civilized?
Why can't the girl just shut her mouth?
Expose the nature of this crime
In digging up our ground
Why can't we keep this civilized?
You'll pick a fight with anyone
Not saying you deserve to die
Just saying you deserve yourself
Put your claws around me baby
And squeeze a little harder with your arms
When I met you I was weaker
And I'm coming out a man, set your alarm
Don't worry about your reputation
I won't say a word - except right now
Emotional, emotional
Well you got some devotional for pain
And me
Why can't we keep this civilized?
Why can't the girl just shut her mouth?
Expose the nature of this crime
In digging up our ground
Why can't we keep this civilized?
You'll pick a fight with anyone
Not saying you deserve to die
Just saying you deserve yourself
Can't we keep this civilized?
Can't the girl just shut her mouth?
Not saying you deserve to die
Just saying you deserve yourself
Can't we keep this civilized?
Can't the girl just shut her mouth?
Not saying you deserve to die
Just saying you deserve yourself
Can't we keep this civilized?
Can't the girl just shut her mouth?
Not saying you deserve to die
Just saying you deserve yourself
