In our endeavor we are never seeing eye to eye
No guts to sever, so forever may we wave goodbye
And you're always telling me that it's my turn to move
When I wonder what could make the needle jump the groove

I won't fall for the oldest trick in the book
So don't sit there and think you're off of the hook
by saying there is no use changing 'cause
That's just what you are
That's just what you are

Acting steady, always ready to defend your fears
What's the matter with the truth, did I offend your ears?
By suggesting that a change might be a thing to try
Like it would kill you just to try and be a nicer guy

It's not like you would lose some critical piece
If somehow you moved point A to point B
Maintaining there is no point changing 'cause
That's just what you are
That's just what you are

Now, I could talk to you 'til I'm blue in the face
But we still would arrive at the very same place
With you running around
And me out of the race

So maybe you're right nobody can take something older than time
And hope you could make it better
That would be a mistake
So take it just so far
'Cause that's just what you are
That's just what you are
