You don't even know me
To meet me who loves you, like
Me crashing to the ground
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on home
Are you so lonely?
What do you even know?
I used to treat you right
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
You've just enough, in my own view
Mr. Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Before you go on home
What do you really know?
Then you do what you do
Mr. Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Before you go on home
With you on your own
Mr, Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it always is?
Education to perform
You hang names on your wall
And then you go home
Why don't you tell it like it always is?
Then you shoot them all
That bring you down
But you'd like to stone me
Before you go on home
With you on your own
Give you my time
I'd like to shoot you all
But when I'd turn my back on you
And then you go home
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Mr. Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Mr. Writer, why don't you tell it like it really is?
You fly around in planes
