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

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
