I Censor Me

I censor me. I wait my turn Ears, not mouth, they said Is the way to learn And small talk is so very small Nuthin' good to say Don't say nuthin' at all We'll never see who I might be I censor me. I censor me I censor me I censor me, what I would do Wrong somehow I'd better think it through And what if I can't do it well Best not to try Why show and tell We'll never see who I might be I censor me. I censor me I censor me My feelings rise, I tamp them down The social swim? I sink. I drown Where bold men dare, I flinch, I stall Can hidden pride cause a fall We'll never see who I might be I censor me. I censor me I censor me Down city streets they floor the gas Men furious driving way too fast Cause crumpled wrecks In wreckage they die Not me My rage I'm gonna keep it inside. My nose is clean, my pants are too No chance I'll take a chance with you We'll never see who I might be I censor me. I censor me I censor me
