Some people just have to be heard
Don't wait for an opening just interrupt
In your head you can hear them screaming
Pay attention to me!
Pay attention to me!
I'm the one who is important here! Me! Me!
Listen to me, listen to me
Listen to me!
As if you have a choice
Some people just have to be in control
Steer the conversation to what's on their mind
Interrupt you in mid-sentence
Disregard anything you were saying
Because nothing you could have to say
Would possibly be as important
As everything they have to say
They know how to marginalize
Manipulate and stigmatize
Undermine and miscatergorize
Belittle and vilify
Every thought and opinion you might dare to express
That runs counter to their idea of what's best
Jump to conclusions and slam the door shut
Jump to conclusions and slam the door shut
Jump, jump, jump to conclusions
Slam the door shut
Because nothing you possibly could have had to say
Could possibly have added
Anything of value to the conversation
