"See Where You Are And Get Out" lyrics

"See Where You Are And Get Out"

I asked my dad, "Hey Dad, why is the world so strange?
You never see what I say, you only count the change
You didn't use your brain
Did you remember to use your mind?
If I know you the way I think I do
You're bound to wind up dying"

You're bound to wind up dying dissatisfied
You're gonna wind up without ever taking the time to apply your mind
See where you are when you're down

Yeah, and everybody I know well
Well enough to call my friend
Knows everybody makes, makes mistakes, buddy they're bound
Buddy, they're bound to forgive me again

Everybody I know well
Well enough to call my friend
Knows everybody makes mistakes, buddy
Buddy, they're bound to forgive me again
