The Match - Tsunami

It’s a man’s luck

To get to play strong but be weak

And it’s a woman’s lot

I gotta play weak but be stronger

And it’s a wonder

I ever learned how to speak

It’s a wonder

If I’m hanging around here much longer

In this small-minded, big-mouthed, well-bred but half-dead government town

You can think that

But don’t say it aloud

You can do that all you like

But you better not act too proud

We got standards of what is and what ain’t allowed

Take that to heart or take it out

And if my life’s a candle

Then you know my tongue’s a match

And if you wanna get catty about I’ll start from scratch

One thing mamma told me not to do

She said, «Baby, don’t ever suffer fools.»

It’s a goddamn waste of time

It’s a goddamn waste of your time

You take that politeness and I’ll keep it with mine

Go out and get it with your mind
