Operate

The way you operate, the way you operate

Is straight to the bone, is straight to the bone

And everything you say, and everything you say

It leaves me alone, it leaves me alone

The way you compromise, it's like pulling out my eyes, my eyes

And you say that everything I do

It bounces off of you with everything I say

The way you operate, the way you operate

Is straight to the bone, is straight to the bone

And when I find my eyes, I'll cut you down to size, down to size

Until then, I'll wander around blind

Bumping into signs and falling on my face

The way I think you'll take it

So I guess I'm breaking it

Every time I open my mouth

And I can't live it down

And I think you know it

So I guess I'm blowing it

Every time I open my mouth

No, I can't live it down

The way you operate, the way you operate

Is straight to the bone, is straight to the bone

And you say that everything I do

It bounces off of you with everything I say

The way I think you'll take it

So I guess I'm breaking it

Every time I open my mouth

And I can't live it down

And I think you know it

So I guess I'm blowing it

Every time I open my mouth

No, I can't live it down

The stupid things I say under the knife

Sometimes the words I say don't come out right

So all the things I wanted you to hear

Went unsaid, unsaid

Went unsaid

The way I think you'll take it

So I guess I'm breaking it

Every time I open my mouth

No, I can't live it down

And I think you know it

So I guess I'm blowing it

Every time I open my mouth

No, I can't live it down

I know that I can't live it down

And I know that I can't live it down
