Blackball (Acoustic Version) Lyrics

Like insolent petulant children

You whine and opine on how you come

To your current situation

Walking down the hall

Clueless to where you are at all

Feeding the flames with your tall tailed,

Half suspicions

It's hard to blame you, it's not your fault

Can we make it better, or is it all for naught

That ship just sailed

The dissonant keep

Trying to explain their thoughts and feelings

With meanings and words

But with words without meaning

Just shut it now, you not only lost the plot somehow

Your latest obsession, driven deep to keep distressing

Man overboard, drowning in desperation

Just when you think you've got it made

Someone in the crowd goes a shade too loud

One who feels endowed to mess it up for the rest us

Can't let their noise create a cloud

We all roll our eyes, attempt to laugh it off

Cause life's too short for this kind of stuff

They think they're clever, they think they're bold

But wish they'd break free from what they're told

They just keep repeating the same thing over and over and over…

We've got to know who is providing the why's

We've got to learn how to extinguish the lies

We've got to show when to sever the ties

Or else we're just the blind leading the blind

We roll our eyes, try to laugh it off

Cause life's too short to write you off

They're forever clever, forever bold

Forever wishing they're a little older

To see through their blinding naivete,

That they are bound too

It's so natural to raise our shield, our guard and our guide

Cause when in doubt, YOU double down
