So goddamn easy to write this You make it spill on the page So drunk on yourself, self-righteous A laughing stock of your own fucking stage Oh but I ain't one to call names Or throw stones in a house of glass You try me This is a motherfuckin' invitation The only one you could ever need This is a motherfuckin' invitation You try me Just one time you got a reason Heard you had nothing to lose A blind preacher for the pin-eyed congregation It must be easy to lose Oh but I ain't one to call names Or throw stones in a house of glass You try me This is a motherfuckin' invitation The only one you could ever need This a motherfuckin' invitation You try me You can tell the same lie a thousand times But it never gets any more true So close your eyes once more and once more believe That they all still believe in you Just one time This is a motherfuckin' imitation The only one you could ever need This a motherfuckin' invitation Just one time This is a motherfuckin' invitation Ya' try me Just one time (ya' try me) Just one time (ya' try me) Ya' try me
