LYRICS:
I hear you talking
Talking around my back
You think you know something
But you’re missing all the facts
Yes it’s a sad situation
You’ve got nothing better to do
You’re getting harder to hear
‘Cause I’m way ahead of you
Take a minute and listen
Count one, two, three
You’re a slow moving poison
Trying to catch up to me
Yes it’s a sad situation
With such a narrow point of view
You keep on falling behind
‘Cause I’m way ahead of you
I don’t even worry
I don’t even care
There are people like you
Hiding everywhere
You’re not worth the time it takes to ask you why
I’m fine to keep on moving and tell you goodbye
Take a look ahead
That’s me that you don’t see
You’re just wasting time
And that’s all you’ll ever be
Yes it’s a sad situation
That you’ve got yourself into
Why don’t you head on home now
‘Cause I’m way ahead of you
