Lame
Unwritten Law Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Humiliation is all that's left now
Apologetic you say you're sorry
You're so pathetic you won't be bothering me
Just like I told you before
Don't want to see you knockin' at my door
Don't wanna see you round here no more
Not long till someone breaks your neck
You're just a wreck
And nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change
Not much that you can say and
Everything you do is fucking lame
Your misdirection is all you offered
Co-operation is dead why bother
You live your life in someone elses dream
And you will find you've slid between the seams
I thought I told you before
Don't want to see you knockin' at my door
Don't want to see you round here no more
I think enough has been said
Takes too much to get it through your head
Might as well be dead
And nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change
Not much that you can say and
Everything you do is fuckin' lame
And you think something's wrong with me
Or maybe you can't see what I can see
I say there must be something wrong with you
Or maybe you can't do what I can do
I want to know what happened to you
Give me a little respect
Not long till someone breaks your neck
You're just a wreck
And nothing's gonna change
Nothing's gonna change
Not much that you can say and
Everything you do is fucking lame
Fucking lame
Fucking lame
It's all fucking lame

Our teamwork is no longer possible, so what's the point?
You live your life in someone elses dream
You don't have your own goals or aspirations

You are falling apart and losing control
I thought I told you before
I already gave you a heads up
I think enough has been said
We've discussed this enough
Takes too much to get it through your head
It's hard for you to understand
Might as well be dead
You are not really living your life
And you think something's wrong with me
You believe that I'm the problem
Or maybe you can't see what I can see
You don't have the same perspective as me
I say there must be something wrong with you
I believe that you are the one who needs to change
Or maybe you can't do what I can do
You can't handle things the way I can
I want to know what happened to you
I want to understand what went wrong
Fucking lame
Everything about this situation is pathetic and unimpressive
