Matt Jones - Behind The Scenes Lyrics

Shut up, stay seated, let history repeat
Who said anything out here would be so easy?
You been hurt before, get used to it or cry about it
Whatever you beg for you're gonna need to do without it
Silence, in the classroom please or else
Violence, somebody's gotta bleed
Sooner or later, it's just a matter of who
One of these days it just might have to be you
Hands up, guns down, everybody calm down
What you try will never work, if it's in my town
Put the kettle on, keep dreaming on
Nothing to see here just keep playing along

Get done over by a lover find another one
That's how it is, there's rarely any better outcome
Could be rich could be poor could be a lot more
There's always somebody bigger behind the door
You keep making rules, I'll stay on the tracks
Got so many good ideas, but all you want is facts
Tell me to be this, tell me to be that
Something put me here, why can't it put me back

Fill empty spaces, with pretty faces
Real beauty's past the wall if you can break it
Try a little, get a job, and then hate it
Congratulations, my friend, you finally made it
See how high you can fly and get shot down
Stick to what you did best and don't make a sound

This is where I was born, this is where I'll live
This is where I'll die, I may be just a kid
But I'm not stupid, I still got eyes to see
Maybe not everything, but what's right in front of me
They'd pay some attention, receive my complaints
Even read 'em too, if it wasn't so late

Yes I get it, being tortured, ain't an excuse
Just need a little bit to room to let the hair loose
But in the meantime, I'll enjoy what's really mine
Maybe someday I'll read between the lines
See what's going on behind the scenes and give up
Put down the act just scream I don't give a
