lyrics

There’s no polite way to say this
No way to soften the blow
And it’s not for your benefit
In the hope that you’ll change
There’s just something I want you to know

It’s been simmering there for a long time
But the temperature started to rise
You’re the fuel to the fire
I’ve a burning desire
To be the reason for stars in your eyes

So let’s cut to the chase
Right to your face
Spelling it out loud and clear
Though you’re only standing a few feet away
I want to make sure that you hear

You’re an asshole an asshole
Though far from alone
You must be the biggest one I’ve ever known
Asshole you asshole
So sure of yourself
You don’t give a shit about anyone else

You look for the lost
And keep your fingers crossed
There’s no hope that they’re gonna be found
And the ones flying high
Not a day passes by
You don’t look for a sign
That it’s all gonna crash to the ground

So there’s no polite way to say this
No way to soften the blow
And it’s not for your benefit
In the hope that you’ll change
There’s just something I want you to know

Asshole you asshole
Though far from alone
You must be the biggest one I’ve ever known
Asshole you asshole
So sure of yourself
You don’t give a shit about anyone else

Asshole you asshole
Though far from alone
You must be the biggest one I’ve ever known
Asshole you asshole
So sure of yourself
You don’t give a shit about anyone else
