When It Matters Lyrics by Monkey Jacket

Four Twenty-Three

2008

[Verse 1]
I think it's been long enough
Living without all the stuff
That you have taken from me
So I'm gonna take it back
I've tried my best
And tried it again
But whoever thought that that would matter?
That's what I used to tell myself
But now I've got a brand new state of mind
Something spunkier than before
And nobody likes me anymore

[Bridge]
But I don't care
'Cause I'm doing so much better
Than I ever was before
Better pick your jaw up quickly
Before it touches the floor
Don't like what you see
Come on and tell it to me

[Chorus]
I won't take it today
'Cause I've got something to say
And I've been pissed
'Cause you're on the list
And I keep letting you get away
You're not gonna push me around
And though I'm not the talk of the town
I've got something better
That'll turn that smile into a frown
It sure matters now

[Verse 2]
Now somebody is telling me something
They must know all about
They're trying to shove it down my throat
But I've got some information
That'll make you run not hide
Looks like your luck is running out
And everybody's got their chances
But I think you've used yours up
And everybody's got the answers
So I've got a question for ya
How does it feel?
To be a heel

[Chorus]
I won't take it today
'Cause I've got something to say
And I've been pissed
'Cause you're on the list
And I keep letting you get away
You're not gonna push me around
And though I'm not the talk of the town
I've got something better
That'll turn that smile into a frown
It sure matters now
It sure matters now
