Lay Down the Law Songtext
von Joey Eppard

This song is not about you
It′s not about me
It's about the blood in the blade
Stabbed into the back of somebody
Somebody is someone who was 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 warped kitchen floor
From the water left on a run
The pile of dirty dishes that are never done
And the ashes in the sink floating in the water
Somebody doesn′t want to have to
But somebody ought to
Lay down the law


Don′t change your style

Lead on to leave
Baby, come on back for a while

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

This song is a survey of scenes
Somebody sees messed with melodies
Well, there′s no way to let go
No way to forget
There is no way to grow
Just the room to regret
When she holds him back
Conformed to her space
But she holds somebody in the first place


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

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
It's starting to flood
Fills the bones in our brains
As it pours from the screens
And it stains the newspapers and magazines

The newspapers and magazines

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

Lay down the law
Lay down the law
Lay down the law
