[Verse]
I'm the squeaky wheel that needs the grease
I'll call you on your lies won't quit or cease
Living life without the sugar coat
Sometimes honesty will rock your boat
[Verse 2]
Truth's a thorn but it carves its way
In the garden of this mess we play
Shots fired from the heart sincere
I refuse to drown in shallow fear
[Chorus]
Sick of getting the short end slice
Pay the price for shining lights
Pain's a teacher harsh but real
Time to laugh at how you feel
[Bridge]
No more nodding heads like sheep
Digging deep where shadows creep
Feel the sting of naked truth
In this tired unvarnished booth
[Verse 3]
Roads are rough and words can bite
In the dark we seek the light
Scars remind me I’m still alive
Born to call out all the jive
[Chorus]
Sick of getting the short end slice
Pay the price for shining lights
Pain's a teacher harsh but real
Time to laugh at how you feel
