Backbone

[Verse 1]
Had hopes
But they hung too high
Cut me right down to size
Is there anybody listenin'
Spineless
Another swing and a miss
Never tell it like it is
And the truth keeps bending

[Pre-Chorus]
You made this bed
Lay down your head
But don't sleep tonight
Your web of lies
Your alibies
I still don't buy

[Chorus]
Say what you'll do
Do what ya say
Tired of lip service in my face
Shoot me straight
I could use a little backbone
Say what you mean
Mean what ya say
Quit lying to my face
Shoot me straight
You could use a little backbone

[Verse 2]
Sugar coat
Every word you speak
Too sweet
Cracked teeth
Is there anybody listenin'
It's hush hush
Too much just to cover up
The truth that keeps bending

[Chorus]
Say what you'll do
Do what ya say
Tired of lip service in my face
Shoot me straight
I could use a little backbone
Say what you mean
Mean what ya say
Quit lying to my face
Shoot me straight
You could use a little backbone

[Pre-Chorus]
You made this bed
Lay down your head
But don't sleep tonight
Your web of lies
Your alibies
I still don't buy

[Chorus]
Say what you'll do
Do what ya say
Tired of lip service in my face
Shoot me straight
I could use a little backbone
Say what you mean
Mean what ya say
Quit lying to my face
Shoot me straight
You could use a little backbone
