Say What You Mean

Say What You Mean

by Skatenigs

And mean what you say, I'm not sure of how to say this more clearly. This is one of my favorite tracks on our third album Adult Entertainment for Kids. Featuring Chris Gates of The Big Boys and Junkyard fame on guitar. I love playing this song live. It is fun to sing and the message will never die.

Lyrics

yeah it’s nice to meet you but there’s something on my mind
before we go any further let’s not waste each other’s time
Do you talk about the things your sure of ?
Are they the things that count?
cancel that check for reality if you know it’s going to bounce

you can talk out your ass and wave that banner high
be proud that you’ve convinced yourself of an unimportant lie
I destroy what you believe because through my own eyes I see
that your living in a made-up world that just doesn’t work for me
say what you mean! mean what you say!
lying to yourself will be the price that you pay

its oh so familiar it’s simple what I ask
like a flag with no allegiance your talking out your ass

the luxury of deception is something I won’t afford
your ways of inconsistency I choose to ignore
it’s your choice to be blind unaware of what’s around
so do us both a favor and choke reality down
say what you mean! mean what you say!
lying to yourself will be the price that you pay

it’s oh so familiar it’s simple what I ask
like a flag with no allegiance your talking out your ass

facts remain the same only fools can be fooled
you’re convinced of your own bullshit trying to be cool
how about this for irony? Your next words could be your last
when you spend your life talking shit and die talking out your ass
say what you mean! mean what you say!
lying to yourself will be the price that you pay ( X 3 )
