You’ll disagree (spoken word)

You had big dreams 

of being a star 

but your pride didn’t let you get that far 

and so you settled for a life 

that everybody else lives 

you got your wife 

and your cars 

and your house 

and your kids 

and still you walk with your pride 

your words filled with lies 

and you tell yourself it’s always 

what you wanted and you smile 

and they only see 

what you want them to see 

serving spoons full of promises 

you never mean to keep

You’ll hear these words 

and you’ll disagree 

but I know you better 

than you think 

Whose gonna save you from yourself 

when you’re starting to believe the lies 

you tell everyone else 

You blow her a kiss and wave goodbye 

and she stands and she smiles 

and she wonders why 

you can have anyone that you choose 

the perfect man and a love 

that she could never bear to lose 

and you drive away 

and her heart skips a beat 

and you pick up your phone 

and another woman speaks 

You tell her you love her 

and you’ll see her soon 

And you turn up the radio 

and look up at the moon

You’ll hear these words 

and you’ll disagree 

but I know you better 

than you think 

Whose gonna save you from yourself 

when you’re starting to believe the lies 

you tell everyone else 

Surrounding yourself with women 

that will never leave 

you like them attached 

so they can’t wander free 

taking care of their families

Keeps them busy 

and you can call on whoever

it is that you need 

You tell them you love them 

and they will believe 

You’re the knight in shining armor 

that makes them feel free 

and you think that this 

makes you a better man 

because you give them the love 

that their husbands can’t

You’ll hear these words 

and you’ll disagree 

but I know you better 

than you think 

Whose gonna save you from yourself 

when you’re starting to believe the lies 

you tell everyone else
