Testo: Barenaked Ladies. Barenaked Ladies Are Me. Take It Back.

It's hard enough to notice
Harder still to react
Just a stone's throw
From the center of our attention
We all fade to black

Save me from a villainous imagination
Deliver me from my friends
If I said something to make you mad
I will take it back

It's hard enough to stomach
But try to look away
Is this a news report
Or a trailer for a motion picture?
It all fades to gray

Save me from a villainous imagination
Deliver me from my friends
If I said something to make you mad
I will take it back

Long lines and warning signs
Think of all the lives
Saved by plastic knives
It's naive but make believe
We will never lose
If we remove our shoes

It's hard to keep your mouth shut
Harder still to make noise
But we can't have
The perfect 20/20 hindsight
That our fate enjoys

So save me from a villainous imagination
Deliver me from my friends
And if I said something to make you mad
I will take it back
I will take it back
