take some time to look around you.

take some time to know yourself.



you say i'm at the top of your list

that's where i'll stay if you persist

pretend that you don't know what's going on.

there's a thin line between love and hate

and i'll respect the walls that you create

between the world and your friends and the people left around you.

and i won't ask you to work for free

but i insist you tell the truth to me

i shouldn't have to pay for your mistakes.

give you 2 to 1 that you'll do it again

give you 5 to 1 that you've done it since then

and it's not so hard to understand.



so hold onto your friends

cause you know that's all you've got in the end

and you can't run away without a team to back you.

don't burn your bridges down

don't bite the hand that feeds you

let's give credit, where credit is due.



take some time to look around you.

take some time to know yourself.

we built this city on rock and roll

two brothers in the world with a common goal

we took this town, lets take the world now.



i got your letter in the mail

no return address, now tell me how to feel

play the role of the concerned one.



so hold onto your friends

cause you know that's all you've got in the end

and you can't run away without a team to back you.

don't burn your bridges down

don't bite the hand that feeds you

let's give credit, where credit is due.



and i'll slow this down like i know you hate it

and i know your busy, but i'll just wait 

til i can take this song and scream it in your face.

my emotions get the best of me

so i'll write it all down in a melody

and i'll sing it myself to get the point accross.

so put me on a list with the disappointed

that list is getting long

and you know i know i'm not the only one.



give you 2 to 1 that you'll do it again

give you 5 to 1 that you've done it since then

and it's not so hard to understand.
