They Never Mean What They Say Lyrics by Voxtrot

2024

[Verse 1]
Got on a train car, she went out to the city
Lookin' for a better job
He was in trouble, he said over the siren
"I love you, but I'm just a slob"
This is a hard edge, it's somethin' to remember
The theater's for wastin' time
Workin' is lousy, and college is for quitters
Some symmetry is hard to find
[Chorus]
I'm tired and battered, worn the sole off my shoes
I'm wrestled and torn, short of nothin' to lose
I'm tired and battered, sick of all these people
[Verse 2]
Go out your front door, you'll never be so sorry
The city life can make you bored
When I was a child, I never stopped to question
Just what on earth I do this for
Look in the corner, a quiet television
Remember when you saw me there?
Kissin' your ass for a hundred thousand questions
I miss it, but I just don't care
[Chorus]
I'm tired and battered, worn the sole off my shoes
I'm wrestled and torn, short of nothin' to lose
I'm tired and battered, sick of all these people
[Post-Chorus]
They never mean what they say
They never say what they mean
They only want you to give in
I wish to god I could meet somebody that I could respect
Somebody that I could respect
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I'm on the road now, I'm lookin' to get better
Think maybe you could show me how
If you really love me, quit peddlin' for affection
And burn the fuckin' house down now
[Chorus]
I'm tired and battered, worn the sole off my shoes
I'm wrestled and torn, short of nothin' to lose
I'm tired and battered, sick of all these people
[Post-Chorus]
They never mean what they say
They never say what they mean
They only want you to give in
I wish to god I could meet somebody that I could respect
Oh, somebody that I, I could respect
[Chorus]
I'm tired and battered, worn the sole off my shoes
I'm wrestled and torn, I'm short of nothin' to lose
I'm tired and battered, sick of all these people
[Post-Chorus]
They never mean what they say
They never say what they mean
They only want you to give in
I wish to god I could meet somebody that I could respect
Somebody that I could respect
[Outro]
Oh, somebody that I could respect
Oh, somebody that I could respect
Oh, somebody that I could respect
Oh, somebody that I could respect
Oh, somebody that I could respect
Yeah, somebody that I—
