Lyrics
You can stop me if I get too far ahead
You have the authority to halt my progress if I go too far.
And if these words are ones you've already been fed
If these words are familiar or unoriginal to you, you can disregard them.
You can turn it off, you can write it off
You have the option to ignore, dismiss, or reject what is being said.
You can leave
You have the freedom to leave or disengage.
And I do welcome you to join in the exchange

Is there anyone to be ratted on to get in?

But as for me from this closed circle I resign

You don't have to go pretending that you mind
Addressing the unnecessary act of pretending to care or be concerned.
I've just had enough and we've done enough
The speaker has reached a limit and wants to move on.
But now we're free

So as for you my friend, this isn't open surgery
