lyrics

I was sticking up for reason and hoping
I was sticking up for reasonable men
Pointing out how everything's broken
Til I'm good and pissed off again
Now I'm stranded in the shallow ocean
Praying to the optimists
Cause it takes forever
Getting to the point you missed

It's too many
It's too many
All the pals keep on splitting
Even they couldn't get it to fit
It's too late
It's too little
It's too frail
It's too brittle
It's too true to be good, my friend

You were drawn and quartered for trusting
Work that didn't exist
And when it all amounts to nothing
You get good and pissed off again
Now the evidence is so engrossing
And I'm convinced that I'm hard to convince
Cause it takes a long time
Getting to the top of the list

It's too many
It's too many
All the pals keep on splitting
Even they couldn't get it to fit
It's too late
It's too little
It's too frail
It's too brittle
It's too true to be good, my friend

I can take my time
While I spit out four letter words
You can do my time
While I spit out four letter words
I can take my time
While I spit out four letter words
You can do my time
While I spit out four letter words
