Lay Down the Law Songtext
von 3

This song is not about you

It′s not about me
It's about the blood and the blade
Stabbed into the back of somebody
Somebody is someone who is stable
But still remains unable
To really be himself
′Cause if he were he
Then she would still be with somebody
And not someone else

Oh, someone else


This song is not about me
And the battles that I've won
It's about the what gets him caught
From the water left on the run
And the pile of dirty dishes that is never done
And the ashes in the sink
Floating in the water
Somebody doesn′t wanna have to
But somebody oughta

Lay down the law
Don′t change your style
Leave on to leave
Baby, come on back for a while
Lay down the law
Don't change your style
Leave on to leave
Baby, come on back for a while
For a while, oh, oh

This song is a survey of scenes
Somebody sees masked with melody
There′s no way to let go
No way to forget
There is no way to grow
Just the room to regret
Well, she holds him back
Confined to a space
But she knew somebody in the first place


Lay down the law
Don't change your style
Leave on to leave
Baby, come on back for a while
Lay down the law
Don′t change your style
Leave on to leave
Baby, come on back for a while
For a while, oh yeah

Somebody is stranded
Light years from home
On a planet where people
Are not like his own
Where they pay to be brainwashed
And told what to see
And not many dare question authority

Where a sick television is coughing up blood
And it stains every life
And it's starting to flood

Fills the holes in our brains
Lays devoid from the screens
And it seems the news
The naked and the magazines

Lay down the law
Don′t change your style
Leave on to leave
Baby, come on back for a while
Lay down the law
Don't change your style
Leave on to leave
Baby, come on back for a while

Lay down the law
Lay down the law
Don't change your style
Don′t change
Lay down the law
Lay down the law
Lay down the law
