Get On Your Knees

Before you speak
Get on your knees

Get down in the dirt
And look up at me
And see if I look amused
By you, okay?

Let's start the day right
Get on your knees

You don't need to beg
You just need to kneel there
Feeling as short as you are
On the metaphysical plane

See what you can gain by groveling
By shoveling apologies
Onto the shit I don't give
See if you can live like that
A few feet shorter than a hat on a park bench
Wrenching yourself away
From the clouds you're normally sucking
And no I don't care who you were fucking
Before you got to me

I don't want to rehash the past
I just want you on your knees

You're not getting anywhere
One knee at a time
Your crimes are now taller than you
And your dick's even smaller than you
And your clique disappeared
Because they feared, and rightfully so
That I'd snow them in
Once I was done with you

Not fun, I know
But low you have to go
When you've muddied yourself up
And you wanna get clean

And if you're not getting what I mean
When I say that to be okay you'd need to stay there
While I wear away my welcome
In another man's bed
Don't try to get inside my head
Or tread lightly
From now on nightly you'll be found
On the floor
Once your legs give out
I'm all about penance
As you're gonna see

So if you wanna look me in the eyes
You better get on your knees
