Stopgap

It's not just for me
You should be well aware of this grief
I know it's temporary
One minute here, the next you gone like a thief

You got something you wanna say to me?
So what's your story, better get it straight
Don't waste my time with your apologies
You're afraid - It's an about-face
[x2]

Atonement isn’t for me
It's more pathetic than your sympathy
There is nothing worse than the need
To be accepted to by your contemporaries

You got something you wanna say to me?
So what's your story, better get it straight
Don't waste my time with your apologies
You're afraid
It's an about-face
[x2]

Now you're the big shot, you're walking tall
This is a stopgap, you're gonna fall
You deserve what you get
There's no remorse, regret
This is far from over yet

It's not just for me
You should be well aware of this grief
There is nothing worse than the need
To be accepted to by your contemporaries

You got something you wanna say to me?
So what's your story, better get it straight
Don't waste my time with your apologies
You're afraid
It's an about-face
[x4]

You got something you wanna say to me?
