You line them up
Look at your shoes
You hang names on your wall

Then you shoot them all

You fly around in planes

That bring you down
To meet me who loves you, like
Me crashing to the ground


Are you so lonely?
Don't even know me

But you'd like to stone me

Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?

Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on home


I used to treat you right
Give you my time
But when I'd turn my back on you

Then you do what you do

You've just enough, in my own view

Education to perform
I'd like to shoot you all
And then you go home

With you on your own
What do you really know?


Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on home


And then you go home
With you on your own

What do you even know?

Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?

Why don't you tell it like it really is?
Before you go on home


Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it is?
Why don't you tell it like it always is?
Before you go on home


Mr Writer, why don't you tell it like it really is?
Why don't you tell it like it always is?

Before you go on home
