"Yes Men" lyrics
Whitney Peyton, Otep & Kung Fu Vampire Lyrics
It's kinda hard to have an open conversation, I'm just sayin'
Everything feels like a trauma competition, in relation
Our relationship lacks strong communication
I've been waitin' for "I'm sorry", but you're never gonna say it
You only triggered when you're wrong, you don't set boundaries, you set traps
Blame others when you fall, but who really took those steps back?
I'm sick of playin' along, super sore from bendin' back
Went to bat, yeah, I really had your back, but it's too late now
So blasphemous, you reach out to my people and you badmouth me
Imagining the way you skew the narrative, embarrassing
Was groveling to earn your love before, that's never happening again
So call the backup, bring the cavalry, let's do it
Here come the yes men, yes men
They nod their head, they goin', "Yes man, yes man"
Every time you need to vent, need the pity, validation, "You're correct"
Cuz a friend's only a friend if they say yes
(They nod they head, they sayin') "Yes, yes, yes"
(They nod they head, they sayin') "Yes, yes, yes"
(They nod they head, they sayin')
"You so right, you're the victim, you're the best"
Cuz love is only love when it's a yes
(Yo, Otep)
Not used to hearin' no, huh? Thought you could make your own laws
You know it all, but you a faux pas, saw the signs, shoulda broke off
Had me under a spell, first, couldn't recognize self-worth
Every day was a bell curve, increased pain till it felt worse
More than toxic, you parasitic, a different pain, no paramedic
Mental toll, no credit given, paid in full, every minute
Know you wrong, but you won't admit it, tried to fly, but you clipped my wings
Always pullin' on puppet strings, the architect of my suffering
Now alone, will you act right? No lantern when you gaslight
Done thinkin' about past life, Danny Boy in the back pipe
Cracked your crown like cheap ice, always takin' my pops' advice
They start shit, I finish it, and erase your name in the book of life
Here come the yes men, yes men
They nod their head, they goin', "Yes man, yes man"
Every time you need to vent, need the pity, validation, "You're correct"
Cuz a friend's only a friend if they say yes
(They nod they head, they sayin') "Yes, yes, yes"
(They nod they head, they sayin') "Yes, yes, yes"
(They nod they head, they sayin')
"You so right, you're the victim, you're the best"
Cuz love is only love when it's a yes
Everything I do, you agree with, Jesus, "Peace be with you", need a cleavage reset
And I ain't gonna keep me around a visa's expired, you admire Venus
Weakness, genius, everything is meaningless when it comes from you, speechless? Nah
There's just no air left in the room, I gotta stop starin', zoned
Cuz I can't believe what I'm seein', even if I stopped breathin', you'd be the first
To tell me I need to chill out, I'm one of the greatest, I'm ready to smash mouth
A heathen in disguise, really vilified, silly, still, I slide to come inside
Seek validation in me, so scared to disturb my pride
Tell me that I'm not the best, say it with your chest out
I need people in my circle that tell me how it really is now
No yes men, no folk trends, I want organic, grass-fed, pasture-raised
Whatever that healthy shit is, I just crave realness these days
Everything feels like a trauma competition, in relation
Our relationship lacks strong communication
I've been waitin' for "I'm sorry", but you're never gonna say it
You only triggered when you're wrong, you don't set boundaries, you set traps
Blame others when you fall, but who really took those steps back?
I'm sick of playin' along, super sore from bendin' back
Went to bat, yeah, I really had your back, but it's too late now
So blasphemous, you reach out to my people and you badmouth me
