Let It Slide
Well everybody keeps something up their
Sleeve it seems and we know why
Go ahead make your bed
So you've a shiny new place to lie
You're a mess, let me guess
You just found out that you've been at it again
Well, hand on hip, bite your lip
& then convince me you're not News at Ten
Are you waitin' for the proof?
Are ya gonna let it ride?
Are ya playin' with the truth?
Or are ya gonna let it slide...?
Can't we just pretend we never said it,
And just forget it? Not this time!
Sure you believe it's just a given
And we're forgiven
Are ya gonna let it slide...?
Can't we just pretend we didn't get it
And not regret it. I don't think so!
Surely you believe we're only human
But that's assumin'
Some forgive some forget
But I have yet to see the positive side
So, cash your chips, purse your lips
Stand and deliver your best alibi
I presume you assume
That we're just here to keep your mischief alive
So, go ahead let's pretend you're never
One step over the line
Is your conscience on the loose?
Will you take me for a ride?
Gimme shelter from the truth?
Or are ya gonna let it slide...?
Can't we just pretend we never said it,
And just forget it? Not this time!
Sure you believe it's just a given
And we're forgiven
Are ya gonna let it slide...?
Can't we just pretend we didn't get it
And not regret it. I don't think so!
Surely you believe we're only human
But that's assumin'
Can't we just pretend we never said it,
And just forget it? Not this time!
Sure you believe it's just a given
And we're forgiven
Are ya gonna let it slide...?
Can't we just pretend we didn't get it
And not regret it. I don't think so!
Surely you believe we're only human
But that's assumin'
Ya know ya gotta let it... slide
Now ya gotta let it... slide
Are ya gonna let it...?
Sleeve it seems and we know why
Go ahead make your bed
So you've a shiny new place to lie
You're a mess, let me guess
You just found out that you've been at it again
Well, hand on hip, bite your lip
& then convince me you're not News at Ten
Are you waitin' for the proof?
Are ya gonna let it ride?
Are ya playin' with the truth?
Or are ya gonna let it slide...?
Can't we just pretend we never said it,
And just forget it? Not this time!
Sure you believe it's just a given
And we're forgiven
Are ya gonna let it slide...?
Can't we just pretend we didn't get it
And not regret it. I don't think so!
Surely you believe we're only human
But that's assumin'

Ya know ya gotta let it... slide
Now ya gotta let it... slide
Are ya gonna let it...?
