I get the last word.



To answer the question, yes - the city wants you gone
and that's the only thing connecting us, but the connection is so strong
So how dare you assume that I'll sleep when you're dead
This is well outside the boundaries of acceptable behavior
I will not give you the go ahead and you will not be remembered fondly
I'm throwing down the gauntlet, fuck you this isn't your decision
and for all the holy fuck I give, your little spectacle is ended
But don't think for just one second you've honored your obligations to me
I'm serious look in my eyes, I don't find this funny
or whatever you imagine poetry and justice feels like when you combine them
I am not going to allow this on my watch buddy, nobody's impressed
with your imagined sacrifice device or insurmountable regret
You are not uniquely pained and if you go we won't be sorry
and who the hell are you to put me through the banality of watching this*
Cause many better men have gone for clearly better reasons and I
starkly must remind you that you have not even been trying
And that's the only thing remarkable about you, stop me if I'm lying . . .
 
* Update: The post was taken down.  Here's the cached version - without an update at the bottom that was later added and that stated that "threatening" is beyond the pale.  The day that it becomes a threat for songs to remind us of people, we're all off to jail, my friends [Update again! Cached version with that update]. 

I said this was "the last word."  WALK ON, dude.
