Easy to say but difficult to play
I'm serving my time for free
but justice will fail and crime will prevail
at least the ones you committed on me
You can keep throwing these stingers
or you can try to be friendly
either way, it's cool with me
either way, it's cool with me
Righteous in ways you can't help display
the karma comes back onto you
I've got a shield and my own blade to wield
but I'm holding breath until you are through
You can keep throwing these stingers
or you can try to be friendly
either way, it's cool with me
either way, it's cool with me
but your way is so not cool with me
I could cut my hair
shave every day
tuck in my shirt
I can learn how to tie a tie
but it's just not gonna work
My bank account
isn't deep
you'd like it to be
there's nowhere to go from here
so I guess I'll have to leave
You can't seem to avoid avoiding me
and I tried to repeat your mistakes
I'm thinking "I'm gonna show her"
but your blue eyes sure fucked me over
You can keep throwing these stingers
or you can try to be friendly
either way, it's cool with me
either way, it's cool with me

Background:
Music: Not intended for this, but it works, so go with it. Got going just a day before a 600 mile road trip, then furiously cranked out the day after that, in the old folks' home. Finished one-half hour into August 1st.
Lyrics: Dude, it's over. Get used to it. About breaking up and trying to be friends. The "either way" part was in place a good month before any of the rest. The "justice" line was random from 2002 and inserted.
