You see me as a judge
 though I deny it
 and hold me like a grudge
 then justify it
 But when you make such claims
 in searching for something that explains
 please take a good look at our remains
 
 'Cause if you were everything you say
 things would be different today
 and maybe there's room for compromise
 but signs that I get say otherwise
 say anything, 'cause I've heard everything
 
 As hopeless as it seems
 I wouldn't worry
 You'll get your chance to tell
 your side of the story
 And, raising your right hand,
 whatever defenses you had planned,
 remember that when you take the stand -
 
 If you were everything you say
 things would be different today
 and though I'd be happy to believe
 I'd have to be much more naive -
 say anything, 'cause I've heard everything
 now I've heard everything
 now I've heard everything
 
 So why do I refuse
 the truth, when I clearly cannot use
 the comfort of one more lame excuse
 
 'cause if you were everything you say
 things would be different today
 and if you were everything you swear
 we wouldn't be beyond repair
 If you were everything you say
 things would be different today
 and if there has got to be an if -
 get it over with
 say anything, 'cause I've heard everything
 now I've heard everything
 now I've heard everything
