You Can Keep The Sayings of the Wise
You can keep the sayings of the wise
They're no use to me anymore
I've left you for bluer skies
I'm tired of your looks and your lies
you can give them to the back of the door
You can keep the sayings of the wise
It's old and rotting, covered with flies
left to die in the middle of the floor
I've left you for bluer skies
Blind deaf and dumb you stood against my cries
You ignored me; burned me to the core
You can keep the sayings of the wise.
We had them all, lows and highs
It's all over now, we both left sore
I've left you for bluer skies
You said it wasn't about money, just about size
I didn't argue; I don't want a war.
You can keep the sayings of the wise
I've left you for bluer skies
