You gotta give    You gotta give me a better reason    to listen to you    it's gonna take    it's gonna take more than shouting at me    to make me concede       you should have left it alone       too late open mouth   stupid words   like "never again" and "only one more time"   being lame   doing things you know better than that   is it too much to ask       we're older, not wiser, contrite and indifferent   we're learning, just slower   and someday we'll be the ones to point and to blame
