Lyrics People Get Mad - Amy LaVere, Jimbo Mathus, Paul "Snowflake" Taylor

People Get Mad

People get mad when you tell 'em that they’re wrong
You say you’ll be quick, but then you take too long
You tell 'em that it’s over, but it keeps on going on
People get mad when you turn them away
When you ask them to leave, but they’re wanting to stay
Or you’re ready for bed, but they still want to play
The people get mad, people get oh so mad
People get mad, people get oh so mad
They get mad when you’ve escaped from the fray
When they want black or white, but you’re handing them grey
When you don’t say the things that they want you to say
People get mad when you’re doing your thing
When you turn up so loud that it makes their ears ring
They want you to hurt, but you feel like a king
Yeah, people get mad, people get oh so mad
People get mad, people get oh so mad
People get mad when you won’t be delayed
They’re stuck in the past, but you live for today
They live by some rules that you will not obey
People get mad when you need to move on
They need your attention, but you need to yawn
Or you’re living next door, and you won’t mow your lawn
Clean up your own backyard!
Oh, don’t you hear me?
None of your lies
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business, I’ll tend to mine
