The First Time

Words are like bullets, but no lawyers attached
Words cut even deeper, than a knife in the back
Words have new meaning, but not face to face
Words spoken too quickly, will soon run out of space

I heard what you said the first time
Try setting up a new paradigm
Commit the ultimate thought crime
I heard what you said the first time

Words uttered in passing, take us off track
Words shouted in anger, tend to bite back
Words spoken in earnest, we certainly must
Words whispered in ears, are some that we'll never trust

I heard what you said the first time
Try setting up a new paradigm
Commit the ultimate thought crime
I heard what you said the first time

Once has got to be enough
Twice falls squarely on me
Three is no charm, it's too many
Four and I'll answer the plea
I think my ears are bleeding

Words gossiped and libeled, they make it around
Words said in response to that, will lose the high ground
Words passed on the screen, might be here to stay
Words written on paper, well, they don't go away

I heard what you said the first time
Try setting up a new paradigm
Commit the ultimate thought crime
I heard what you said the first time
