Accordion Song

You've got discomfort on your skin and it's conquered you
Discontent down your spine has got you beat
I've seen you dance, laugh and sing with no sense of abandon
And when you go
You'll make sure it's slow so people know
I've seen you, you show it
I've seen you, you shown it
You've got discomfort on your skin and it's conquered you
Discontent down your spine has got you beat
I've seen you dance, laugh and sing with no sense of abandon
'Cause then when you go
You'll make sure it's slow so people know
I've seen you, you show it
I've seen you, you shown it
You've got no sense of abandon
'Cause I've seen you, you show it
I've been watching you waste it away
'Cause it shows in your smile
No one can tell you what's best for you
So play dead, embrace your feet
You've been taught to sing but you can't buy abandon
Don't forget to strive
You should never deprive yourself of pride
I've seen you, you show it
I've seen you, you shown it
