The Imposters Lyrics

Don't want to talk about the government
I don't want to discuss political issues and government policies.

Don't want to talk about some incident
I don't want to discuss any particular event or experience.

Don't want to talk about some peppermint gum
I don't want to talk about something trivial or insignificant.

Don't want to talk about the time to come
I don't want to speculate about the future.

Button my lip
Stop me from speaking.

'Til I'm smart enough
Until I have a good enough understanding of the situation.

Don't raise your hand
Don't offer to help.

'Cos I'm not offering
Because I'm not volunteering anything.

It serves you right
You're getting what you deserve.

Now you are suffering
You're experiencing the negative consequences.

Give me a chance
Let me try.

To see it through
To complete the task or mission.

It all depends on what you hold is true
The outcome depends on your beliefs.

With your kiss
Silence me with your lips touching mine.

Don't want to hear some little sniveling
I don't want to hear someone complaining or whining.

You just don't get what I'm delivering
You don't understand what I'm trying to say or give.

Maybe you want me
Perhaps you desire me.

But you know you can't
But you're aware it's impossible.

I'd say, 'I want you? But you know I don't
I might say I want you, but you know I don't really mean it.

'Til I'm old enough
Until I'm mature enough to understand.

'Til I'm smart enough
Until I'm intelligent enough to comprehend.

'Til I'm?
Until I have acquired some unspecified quality or attribute.

Don't want to come at your beckoning
I don't want to come when called or summoned.

For any day they'll be a reckoning
Because someday there will be consequences or punishment for your actions.

Don't want to hear what is impossible
I don't want to listen to things that can't be done or achieved.

Baby, you've become invisible
You have lost my attention and importance in my life.

I've seen those clowns vacant and insolent
I have observed those foolish and rude individuals.

I stand accused but I am innocent
I may be blamed, but I'm not guilty.

I am the mighty and magnificent
I am powerful and impressive in my own way.
