Lyrics

Word Forward

Goodbye Jimmy, farewell youth I must be on my way I have had enough of you I was a young man proud and true Just a simple boy with nothing else to lose Years that I've wasted these I owe you's They're just fucking words This is life or death It's time to clear the air you better save your breath Say have you heard Say have you heard The poison in my heart voices in my head Years that I've waited these I owe you's I meant every word for word for word forward Word for word for word forward Word for word for word forward Word for word for word forward But it's only words I meant every word They're just fucking words Word for word for word forward Word for word for word forward Word for word for word forward Word for word for word forward Word for word for word forward Word for word for word forward Word for word for word forward Word for word for word forward
