[Intro]
Hey—watch your mouth!
[Verse 1]
You cut the line, then blame the sign,
You spill your drink and call it mine.
You talk real big from a borrowed chair,
Then act surprised when nobody cares.
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that look, I know that grin,
The little storm you carry in.
Take one breath before you start—
You’re not the king of every room you’re in.
[Chorus]
Don’t be a jackass, jackass,
You’re making mountains out of glass.
Don’t be a jackass, jackass,
Put the match down, let the moment pass.
We’re all one bad day from losing our cool,
So don’t make cruelty your golden rule.
Don’t be a jackass, jackass—
You know better than that.
[Verse 2]
You leave your mess by the office sink,
Send three red emails before you think.
You call it honesty, I call it mean,
There’s a difference between sharp and cruel behavior on the scene.
[Pre-Chorus]
I know that look, I know that grin,
The little war you’re living in.
Take one step back from the ledge—
You don’t have to make everybody pay for it.
[Chorus]
Don’t be a jackass, jackass,
You’re making mountains out of glass.
Don’t be a jackass, jackass,
Put the match down, let the moment pass.
We’re all one bad day from losing our cool,
So don’t make cruelty your golden rule.
Don’t be a jackass, jackass—
You know better than that.
[Breakdown]
Stop.
Think.
Breathe.
Don’t hit send.
[Bridge]
I’ve worn the crown of being wrong,
I’ve doubled down and dragged it on.
The hardest words are simple ones:
“I blew it. Sorry. What have I done?”
[Dubstep Drop]
Don’t—don’t—don’t be a jackass!
Back it up!
Don’t be a jackass!
[Final Chorus]
Don’t be a jackass, jackass,
You’re making mountains out of glass.
Don’t be a jackass, jackass,
Put the match down, let the moment pass.
We’re all one bad day from losing our cool,
So don’t make cruelty your golden rule.
Don’t be a jackass, jackass—
You know better than that.
[Outro]
Take the high road if you can.
If you can’t—at least don’t be a jackass.
