lyrics

JERK

You take and twist around all my most harmless intentions
I find myself up in arms in the most inane of conversations
I find I wanna scream when I am talking to you
I’m pretty sure that isn’t something a sane person should do

Don’t wanna know you anymore
Wish I could take our past and rip it, throw it out the door
And shoot it dead into the floor (repeat)

You yell and scream and say that I’m a frigid bitch
Well I never said I’m perfect
You drive me up the wall
as if it’s nothing at all
and then you short me like a circuit
Is the madness really worth it?
Christ, you’re
such a jerk, such a jerk, you’re such a jerk
conniving and ungrateful little (pause) - jerk.

Maybe I’m mistaken since
my nerves were rather shaken,
but your conscience didn’t waken
at the sight of my rage?
Insolence unnerving,
You’re not undeserving
of some flaming bitch to come
and set your bedroom ablaze.

O, The gall is quite astounding
O, The impudence—abounding

You yell and scream and say that I’m a frigid bitch
Well I never said I’m perfect
You drive me up the wall
as if it’s nothing at all
and then you short me like a circuit
Is the madness really worth it?
You take my loyalty and shirk it
Just keep in mind, with the past behind
that I’ll always find
You’re such a (pause) - jerk.
