Another night
Another play
Only marking time
In a fools parade
Tell me if you dare
Was this all just a big mistake?
Yeah, well then let it out
Say what ya gotta say
Sick and tired
I can't distill
Who's wrong or right
The endless drill
Never change no mind
By the sword you never will (no you won't)
Just need a little time
To let your head and heart grow still
I won't sugar coat it
Gonna lay it on the line
Gotta own it
And tell it like it is sometimes
Just lay it on the line
Testify
And don't pretend
If you wanna take it back
Well I won't condemn
Are you happy now
Are you really better off my friend
Baby tell the truth
Was it really worth it in the end?
And don't sugar coat it
Just lay it on the line
Gotta own it
And tell it like it is sometimes
Just lay it on
Just lay it on the line
Just lay it on the line
Yeah
Johnny-come-lately
Step aside
You had your fun
Now say goodbye
Let the people take the wheel
It's time to let the grown-ups drive
We ain't never looking back
Making up for losing time
I won't sugar coat it
Gotta lay it on the line
Now we know it
Ain't wasting no more time
Gotta own it
Gotta tell it like it is sometimes
Just lay it
Lay it
Lay it
Lay it on the line
Just lay it on the line
Just lay it on the line
Just lay it on the line
