Lyrics & Translation

[English]

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, boy

...
