Please don't put your rind upon my plate
You wanna chew the fat that's fine
I'll chew yours, you chew mine
Let's create a little clarity in mind
But please, don't point that thing at me
Don't wave it in my face
Coming in here, stinking out the place
Laying all the good to waste
I know you feel bad
And that don't feel good
But, I reckon if we only tried it could
But, it's suffocating don't you know?
This heavy feeling in the air
It ain't your fault, and it's not fair
Just try and be a little more aware
That this just makes me feel bad and that don't feel good
I reckon if we only tried it could
If I can't make it better for you, well
That's too bad
But, please don't put your rind upon my plate
I got things to do
Got shit I'm going through
Ain't we all got fat to chew
'Cause we all feel things
And they can feel strange
But, the way you're going nothing's gonna change
If I can't make it better for you, well
That's too bad
