Lyrics

Please Concrete

I can please concrete by walking

But you're not hearing

What I'm saying, when I'm talking

I always think I'm right

I'm all right

I can teach the street by guessing

When the hosts are not exactly where I'm stepping

Go in and knowing where, not over there

And I can touch TV by looking

But you're spading at three colors system failing

We see red, yellow, blue not maroon

We see red, yellow, blue

I can please concrete by walking

But you're not hearing

What I'm saying, when I'm talking

I always think I'm right

I'm all right

I only said goodnight
