Name: Don't Preach To Me
Duration: P00H05M46S
Description: This song is a reaction to zealots and fanatics of all descriptions. One thing they generally have in common is a tendency to be intolerant and value opinions above facts and logical arguments. Writing this song was a cathartic release! I have no time for zealots or extremists who let reason fly out the window and project their hateful ideas onto others.

about

This song is a reaction to zealots and fanatics of all descriptions. One thing they generally have in common is a tendency to be intolerant and value opinions above facts and logical arguments. Writing this song was a cathartic release! I have no time for zealots or extremists who let reason fly out the window and project their hateful ideas onto others.

lyrics

You think you’re so clever
And no one is better than you
Until you open your mouth
Then it’s so clear it’s untrue

You say you’re a friend
Of the earth
And no one’s
Greener than you

But you’re no friend of mine
I can see right through you

You’ve got PC sickness
You censor and cancel your friends
Until no one’s left to cancel
Hey where will it end?

Your anger’s overflowing
And your mind is diseased
You’ve got no personality
And you’ve got no reason to be

And I know now
You’re really quite off your tree

You’ve got a degree
And no one’s smarter than you
You’ve got all the answers
To every question asked of you

But I know inside
You’re just too good to be true

It takes a lot to hate
Quite as much as you
But I’m learning fast
Since I’ve been hanging around you

I know I’ve gotta get out fast
Running away from you

Your social media posts
Are too tiresome to read
You’re a self-appointed expert
In everything you believe

But you’re not a preacher
So don’t preach at me

But you’re not a preacher
Don’t preach at me

I said you’re not a preacher
So don’t preach at me
