If you could say something Without sedating me The air in your small world might clear to breathe Laymen's terms King of fools Illiterate You'd render me In this bad scene Playing to the gallery And they remember all their lines They all remember the dirt I'm through humoring you I am learning to hate you It's true I'm through humoring you I've been drinking and sleeping My enemies' Holiday Inn Identified We speak untruths Because there's strength in numbers
Forced to relate In a world depraved Identify alone We speak in tongues Give me laymen's terms The air in this small world might clear But they won't remember you They will remember the dirt, the joke I'm through humoring you I am learning to hate you It's true I'm through humoring you I've been living and dying My enemies' Holiday Inn Laymen's terms King of fools Walk with you Walk with you
