Lyrics Asking for It - Shinedown

Asking for It

Can I have a moment of your time?
Just a single second so you see
That, indeed, we’ll be leaving you behind
Far across that line
Turn it up so you can hear the bells
Crashing through the clouds
Acid rain down the drain
We know all too well
It’s a living hell
Careful what you say and who you say it, who you say it to
Careful what you say and who you say it to
Maybe you talk too much
And you were asking for it, asking for it, asking
You can blame bad luck
But you were asking for it, asking for it, asking
When all is said and done
You need to tie your tongue
Cause when you spit on everyone
You are, you are you know you’re asking for it, asking for it, asking
Caught up in the gutter once again
Thrashing through the mud
Flowin' lies, cuttin' ties
Til the sidewalk ends
And the truth begins
Power through the point of no return
Famously deranged
All the same hope you change
If the worm is gonna turn
It’s none of my concern
Careful what you say and who you say it, who you say it to
Careful what you say and who you say it to
Maybe you talk too much
And you were asking for it, asking for it, asking
You can blame bad luck
But you were asking for it, asking for it, asking
When all is said and done
You need to tie your tongue
Cause when you spit on everyone
You are, you are you know you’re asking for it, asking for it, asking
You are, you are, you are, you are
You are asking for it
You are, you are, you are, you are
You are asking for it
Careful what you say and who you say it, who you say it to
Careful what you say and who you say it to
Maybe you talk too much
And you were asking for it, asking for it, asking
You can blame bad luck
But you were asking for it, asking for it, asking
When all is said and done
You need to tie your tongue
Cause when you spit on everyone
You are, you are you know you’re asking for it, asking for it, asking
You know you’re asking for it, asking for it
You know you’re asking for it, asking
