You gotta give
  You gotta give me a better reason
  to listen to you
  it's gonna take
  it's gonna take more than shouting at me
  to make me concede
    you should have left it alone
    too late open mouth
  stupid words
  like "never again" and "only one more time"
  being lame
  doing things you know better than that
  is it too much to ask
    we're older, not wiser, contrite and indifferent
  we're learning, just slower
  and someday we'll be the ones to point and to blame
