When Revenge Isn’t Sweet

June 1, 2007 © Vest Jiang

Shut out completely

Not being told a thing

Whispers flow through the wall

Unconsciously eavesdropping

Everything’s out

This instant the truth hits home

And now I have no doubts

You’ve got to

Stop the rumours from crawling

Over and under, over and under

Spreading the lies

You’ve got to

Stop making others hate

Over nothing at all

Revenge will not be sweet

When you’re alone

Because everyone’s left

Nobody wants you around

It’s a very lonely feeling

The blows send you reeling

But it’s your fault so

Don’t come crying to me

You’ve got to

Stop the rumours from crawling

Over and under, over and under

Spreading the lies

You’ve got to

Stop making others hate

Over nothing at all

Revenge will not be sweet

This way

This torturous way

Don’t you see you’re only

Making things worse?

For you, too and

Everyone around you

They will come back

They won’t keep track

As long as you

Stop the rumours from crawling

Over and under

Spreading the lies

Stop making others hate

Stop the rumours from crawling

Over and under, over and under

Spreading the lies

Stop making others hate

Don’t make others prejudge

Revenge will not be sweet

This is not the way

Revenge will not be sweet

What you say

Will not make us sway

We won't listen

Until you quit

The rumours from crawling…
