Can't you see? I'm easily bothered by persistence
One step from lashing out at you
You want in to get under my skin and call yourself a friend
?I've got more friends like you, what do I do
?Is there no standard anymore
What it takes, who I am, where I've been, belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life, known from the dawn of time
?Respect, walk, what did you say
?Respect, walk, are you talking to me
?Are you talking to me
Run your mouth when I'm not around, it's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
?Can you hear the violins playing your song
Those same friends tell me your every word
?Is there no standard anymore
What it takes, who I am, where I've been, belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself by yourself, stay away from me
A lesson learned in life, known from the dawn of time
?Respect, walk, what did you say
?Respect, walk, are you talking to me
?Respect, walk, what did you say
?Respect, walk, are you talking to me
?Are you talking to me
No way punk
?Respect, walk, what did you say
?Respect, walk, are you talking to me
?Respect, walk, what did you say
?Respect, walk, are you talking to me
Are you talking to me? Walk on home
