Lyrics
True story
Asserting the truthfulness of the following narrative.
Not without its morals
Contains lessons or teachings.
Nor without a laugh on the way
Despite the lessons, there's humor along the journey.
Some people just get too excited
Some individuals become overly enthusiastic.
And stomp their way across the line
They cross boundaries aggressively or carelessly.
You can't see it
One might not notice this behavior.
But if you are careful
However, caution can prevent negative consequences.
You avoid the taste of your toes
Being cautious helps avoid self-harm or embarrassment.
And its one of those things that your parents really should have taught you at home
Implying that these precautions should have been taught at home by parents.
They should have sat you down
Suggests a missed opportunity for parental guidance.
Made sure it was quiet
Emphasizes the need for a calm and focused environment.
Keeping eye contact all the time
Eye contact is crucial during this instruction.
Now listen son
A hypothetical conversation between a parent and child.
It's best to be thought a fool
Advises that being perceived as foolish is better than proving it by speaking recklessly.
Than speak and remove any trace of doubt
It's wiser to stay silent than to remove all doubt by saying something foolish.
Now I can't be ruthless to a person I consider to be my friend
Expresses an inability to be harsh towards a friend.
But I've witnessed more moments of madness than I need to verify this
Confirms witnessing unnecessary moments of irrational behavior.
And don't you know it
Reinforces the preceding statement.
