Self-Respect

(Held onto your standards So hard that they shattered They won't understand it All along you know they got you wrong They'll never get it) Rising tensions want my signature but not my questions They got so close that they could taste the way I learned my lessons They're holding out on me Holding out on me yeah And they'll never tell you Self respect will never cash the cheques Just take the credit If it's such low stakes then give me a break I'll never get it Self respect will never cash the cheques Just take the credit If it's such low stakes then give me a break I'll never get it You get to know on how the wind blows He'll be your friend He wants his fix but wants it just for kicks So you don't get yours Now he's holding out on me Holding out on me yeah And he'll never tell you Self respect will never cash the cheques Just take the credit And all along make sure you've got me wrong You just don't get it Self respect will never cash the cheques Just take the credit And all along make sure you've got me wrong You just don't get it Self respect will never cash the cheques Just take the credit If it's just low stakes then give me a break I'll never get it Self respect will never cash the cheques Just take the credit A cash injection, a nasty infection Don't regret it
