5.Operate

The way you operate, the way you operate is straight to the
bone, is straight to the bone.
And everything you say, and everything you say it leaves me
alone, it leaves me alone.
The way you compromise, is like pulling out my eyes, my eyes.
And you say that everything I do, it bounces off of you, with
everything I say.

The way you operate, the way you operate is straight to the
bone, is straight to the bone.
And when I find my eyes, I'll cut you down to size, down to
size.
Until then, I'll wander around blind, bumping into signs, and
falling on my face.

The way I think you'll take it, so I guess I'm breaking it,
Every time I open my mouth, and I can't live it down.
And I think you know it, so I guess I'm blowing it,
Every time I open my mouth, no I can't live it down.

The way you operate, the way you operate is straight to the
bone, is straight to the bone.
And you say that everything I do, it bounces off of you, with
everything I say.

The way I think you'll take it, so I guess I'm breaking it,
Every time I open my mouth, and I can't live it down.
And I think you know it, so I guess I'm blowing it,
Every time I open my mouth, no I can't live it down.

The stupid things I'll say under the knife.
Sometimes the words I say don't come out right.
So all the things I wanted you to hear went unsaid, unsaid, went
unsaid.

The way I think you'll take it, so I guess I'm breaking it,
Every time I open my mouth, and I can't live it down.
And I think you know it, so I guess I'm blowing it,
Every time I open my mouth, no I can't live it down.
