Mow 'Em Down
Love's Reckoning: A Song of Broken Hearts by David Wilcox
Lyrics
You don't listen
You are not attentive to what others say
You just talk
You talk more than you listen
Always catch a ride
You consistently find easy ways out, avoiding effort
And never have to walk
You prefer convenience over exertion
You try to teach me things I don't understand by myself
You attempt to instruct me on things beyond my comprehension
Aww, you're something else
You are unique or remarkable in some way
But I can't slow you down
I cannot hinder your progress
All you ever do is
Your predominant action is
Mow 'em down, mow 'em down
To aggressively overpower or defeat others
I brought you love
I offered you love
In the palm of your hand
It was given sincerely and wholeheartedly
You threw it in my face and didn't understand
You rejected it without comprehension
I'm broken down and can't stand up
I am emotionally and physically drained
And nothing left in my loving cup
No love remains in my life
Ahh, but I can't turn you around
I cannot change your direction or attitude
All you ever do it
Your primary action is
Mow 'em down, mow 'em down
To aggressively overpower or defeat others
Now, you don't listen
You are not attentive to what others say (repeated)
You just talk
You talk more than you listen (repeated)
Always catch a ride
You consistently find easy ways out, avoiding effort (repeated)
And never have to walk
You prefer convenience over exertion (repeated)
You try to teach me things I don't understand by myself
You attempt to instruct me on things beyond my comprehension (repeated)
Aww, you're something else
You are unique or remarkable in some way (repeated)
But I can't call you a clown
I cannot label you as foolish or ridiculous
All you ever do is
Your predominant action is (repeated)
Mow 'em down, mow 'em down
To aggressively overpower or defeat others (repeated)
