Lyrics

You don’t need to hate me right now
we'll have lots of time for all of that.
Don’t look at me like I’m your enemy
who’s wearing a dusty black hat

I know what you think of me
but I really don’t give a damn
We are in a really fine mess right now
Do I need to draw a diagram?

I know a thing or two about you
And I don't think you offer much help
First sign of trouble, you’ll up and run
And make like a dog and yelp

You don’t know a thing about me
But you’ve already got your opinions
Get out of my way and let me weigh
How best to handle these conditions

You’ve got no skills, and you don’t know what to do,
Got no kind of training
It won’t do any good to knock on wood
And keep up all that complaining

We’re somehow alive but we need to survive
And we don’t need a bleeding heart
You can be a sheep and you can stand and weep
But we really gotta play it smart

Even if everything goes just great, I’m afraid
We’re still likely screwed by and large
But even if you fret you can bet
That I’m still the one in charge

Just follow my lead and try not to bleed
There are risks I can’t quantify
You don’t need to hate me right now
There’s time for that by and by.
