Yes you are
No I’m not
Yes it is
Not it isn’t
Yes you will
No I won’t
Getting the last word
Isn’t playing the smart card
Where will it get you?
Nowhere.
You’ll just have to
Repent later
For giving disrespect
Disrespect is bad
No matter if the person in authority
Makes you mad
If you’ve got a conscience
Then you’ll feel remorse
Until you’ve made that thing right
So you’d be able to sleep that night
Hmmm…
That sounded like
Something I said before
Well it’s true
Because you
Don’t want ignorance
To get the best of you
Me
He
She
We
They
This ain’t directed at you per se
Just the you in General
Vindictiveness is disrespectfulness
Arguing over stupidity
Is unnecessary
It solves nothing
It’s immature
Kids do that stuff
Let alone
Let enough be enough
It’s unwise
Anger is like yeast
But don’t let it rise
Don’t let it destroy
Your intelligence
Most vindictive conversations
Don’t make sense
It ain’t sensible to get tense
Over nothing
So quit discussing
And let the other party win
You’ll be the bigger person
In the end
