lyrics

If you want to play the part of the attacker
Don’t get offended when I’m obliged to defend
There’s no need to mourn your disposition
When it’s the one that you have created
Yet you wear your burdens as a crown of sorrows
And claim that those better off are rubbing salt in your wounds
And you look about to whom to point your finger
But dear it’s you, dear it’s you
Dear it’s you, dear it’s you

And with every encounter, you’re seeking persuasion
To conform the masses to your narrow point-of-view
But when outwitted, you so quickly surrender
Yet you never learn and you don’t desire to
And it’s apparent you’re personified ignorance
The looks of which till now I never knew
But if asked, I could easily produce an illustration
For dear it’s you, dear it’s you
Oh dear it’s you, dear it’s you

But don’t come back to me so apologetic
Saying, “I never meant to cause the harm that I always do”
For if you’re so serious then how come you always forget it?
It’s like you have amnesia and you’ve forgotten this too
And now you’re angry I refuse to repeat the process
As if great injustice is all I ever do
But any rational person would redirect their anger
For dear it’s you, dear it’s you
Oh dear it’s you, dear it’s you
