Politely

they’re gonna want to put it on you / they’re gonna want to get it on you
they’re gonna slap back spit shine / glad hand push it on you
cuz they want you to jump to / they want you to want to
they want to see you line up to live the life / where you don’t have to
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open Eb 4th fret
they’ll cut the inside out of you / and sell their fake one back to you
and never look back at the / rest of what was you
and if you let this get through to you / what will it do to you
if you don’t learn to / politely decline

and if they feel you try to pull away now / they’re gonna want to come after you
they’re gonna try to drag you back / hold you down try to cling on you
cuz they don’t want to let you leave / they don’t want to feel the breeze
the devil don’t know what the devil / won’t look at you know

and they’ll throw the big bad book at you / hide the heavy hook in you
and patiently persistently inevitably / reel you in
and if you feel that pull tightly / you might want to go lightly
and you might want to / politely decline

and if they see you make it up over / if they know you’re gone they know there’s
no way you’ll ever come back / hunker down get under
and if you’re seeing what’s up over / if you got free you know there’s
no need to ever keep back / hold down or cling on to

but they’ll want to own you / or put an end to you
you’re gonna have to let 'em know that you / won’t be drug under
and if they come at you / politely or maybe not so politely
decline
