Текст песни The Last Word

It doesn't matter now how you say or how you act,
The impression has been made, the mold is all but cast.
You feel the pressure build and you know there's no escape.
Your first instinct is to scream, but your instincts are too late.
And you know, it's not what you want to say.
Your mouth moves, your voice is getting in the way.
There's nothing else that you can do, your body plays along.
It's become for you habitual, and you know it's wrong.

Haven't you learned by now,
You can't rewind, can't erase,
can't insert good memories in this place?
Haven't you noticed yet,
The last word said doesn't make it right?
Haven't you felt the pain,
When someone near, someone dear,
uses love to kick you in the rear?
So why do you always play along?


It doesn't matter now, you've already left the state.
But the ruins left behind aren't going to dissipate.
You've got your story straight and it's already been told,
So why not write it down, so the rights can all be sold.
Because they won't comprehend it any other way
And you won't put up with what they tolerate.
The days are going by so ignore it like it's solved.
You think after a lifetime your behavior might evolve.

Haven't you learned by now,
You can't rewind, can't erase,
can't insert good memories in this place?
Haven't you noticed yet,
The last word said, it doesn't make it right?
Haven't you felt the pain,
When someone near, someone dear,
uses love to kick you in the rear?
So why do you always play along?
