with those two mistakes you will be looking over your shoulder

with those two mistakes you will be looking over your shoulder

A Poem by Jake Martin

i know you're thinking

that this is all a waste of time

but let me tell you

oh, that the pleasure all is mine

because nobody cares

their attention spans aren't long enough to even give a good god damn


they're getting wasted

they're all down at the brand new scene

the petty conflicts

that show up in the magazines

they read em like a book

but i know you're too stoned out of your mind to even get up


to say hello

but you keep me stuck

between a rock and your face

and yet you wish me luck

for all the people get lost tonight

yeah they're all getting drunk tonight

but no one knows

that they're just sitting ducks


i know you're thinking

that this is all a waste of time

but let me tell you

oh, that the pleasure all is mine

because nobody cares

their attention spans aren't long enough to even give a good god damn


but see if you knew

exactly what they thought

as you pass them by

in the parking lot

you're not that wonderful

you just connect the dots

and then the morning finds

oh that you're overwrought


but you don't need them oh no

half as much as they need you

because the days gone

that you'd start the party all anew

but if you need your love

i swear that you can get it yeah regardless of what you think of me

cause if you keep your mouth shut

they will do anything

you want.
