lyrics

I’ve got you and you’ve got me
And that’s all that we’ll ever need
But what if I decide that I want more
Like a baseball bat that’s covered in blood
From all the people I have clubbed
For telling me things that I don’t need to know

Hey Mikie don’t you know
My mind is here it’s always closed
Your arrogance is virtuous in turn
And you’re surrounded by the yes men you deserve

Mikie it’s so plain to see
That everyone you ever meet
Is hanging on to every single word
That rolls across you mouth and I
Will always be your alibi
For every indiscretion you incur

Hey Mikie don’t you know
My mind is here it’s always closed
Your arrogance is virtuous in turn
And you’re surrounded by the yes men you deserve

We sat and watched your house burn down
And though you never made a sound
I knew that you would have the world your way
And so we took a different stance
That led us down another path
Where everything would always be okay

Hey Mikie don’t you know
My mind is here it’s always closed
Your arrogance is virtuous in turn
And you’re surrounded by the yes men you deserve
