Protest The Hero - Yellow Teeth lyrics

Passing judgment with haste and
Laying to waste those who stand before us
And dishonor the faith
A dramatic opinion, but an opinion the same
An attempt now to make right
Not to enthrall or defame

An opinion piece, one after another
Laid fat from feast, one after another

A man is nothing more than
What others claim he is
So speak clear and ill of me
And so it will be
The grating sound of my voice
The yellowing of my teeth
Speak up speak clear speak ill of me
Speak up speak clear speak ill of me

I found myself awake last night
May the players take their place
Repeat their lines exactly to
My public disgrace
The years exaggerate how horrible it was
To be stricken silent with no
Explanation for the cause
I can’t be the only one losing sleep
Over things I should or shouldn’t have done

They are the rope around the neck
They are the blade pressed to the wrist
It might seem detrimental
But it’s meaningless

Left to my own devices, I am strange
I’m a liar entertained

They are the rope around the neck
They are the blade pressed to the wrist
It might seem detrimental
But it’s meaningless
They are the rope around the neck
They are the blade pressed to the wrist
It might seem detrimental
But it’s meaningless

A man is nothing more than
What others claim he is
So speak clear and ill of me
And so it will be
The grating sound of my voice
The yellowing of my teeth
Speak up speak clear speak ill of me
Speak up speak clear speak ill of me

I am no one to be reviled
I am no one to be admired
Jumping rope at the end of the street
I am everyone, and everyone is me
