Screwed Over by Stylish Introverts
If I'd walked out to China Beach I wouldn't think to ask where you would go
If I lay down on China Beach my mind might wander out towards Mexico
If I was getting good at being loved my guard might come down very slow
And someone for all we know might be
Keeping conscientious track of goals that need attending
While others are relaxing
You let me know that calling just because I'm lonely is completely rude
You could work this into a lecture to the starving not to beg for food
You need a world without my manicured complacency offending you
And a certain someone
Who would never steal unless you ended up with something that he wanted
Who would never slap a girl around, unless she made him angry
Who would never screw you over, if there weren't some slight advantage
Or snap your last thread of self-respect, all other things remaining equal
If I lay down on China Beach my mind might wander out towards Mexico
If I was getting good at being loved my guard might come down very slow
And someone for all we know might be
Keeping conscientious track of goals that need attending
While others are relaxing
You let me know that calling just because I'm lonely is completely rude
You could work this into a lecture to the starving not to beg for food
You need a world without my manicured complacency offending you
And a certain someone
Who would never steal unless you ended up with something that he wanted
Who would never slap a girl around, unless she made him angry
Who would never screw you over, if there weren't some slight advantage
Or snap your last thread of self-respect, all other things remaining equal
