The Resounding No!

Words and Music by Kevin Max

you know its ugly but its nice
to take the easy cash and smile
ignore alarm bells and the like
shake the hand that holds the knife

grab a pen and write this down
it flows easy off the tongue
a few people that I know
are lame and suck up and it shows

the resounding no
when I slip into this suit
the resounding no
when I fit into the group
the resounding no
it happens every time
when I am guilty of lying to myself

the resounding no
when I slip into the chair
the resounding no
when I focus on my hair
the resounding no
when I listen to the crowd
the resounding no
when you hear me selling out

you know its ugly but its true
the most successful are the few
who cut the corners, grab the bull
brown the nose & change for you

grab the pen and write this down
it flows easy off the tongue
a few people that I know
are lame and suck up and it shows

the resounding no
when I slip into this suit
the resounding no
when I fit into the group
the resounding no
it happens every time
when I am guilty of lying to myself

the resounding no
when I slip into the pew
the resounding no
when I give in to the blue
the resounding no
when I compare and when I doubt
the resounding no
when I’m afraid to write it down
noooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!
