Pulling Teeth - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

It's beginning, it's beginning to take shape

But are you listening, how much more do I have to take?

There's fingers in my face, take a number for the blame

I never said I was perfect, it was you that lost the game

And I can't believe, but now I see

It's just like pulling teeth

I could've swore I heard you scream

You know you've got some nerve when you feel no pain

But I don't have to feel like pulling teeth

I don't care what you have to say

You know you struck a nerve, but I feel OK and

I don't have to live this way

Smoke and mirrors, mirage of trust for the hole that you dug

No grass to green to catch the eye of the wandering dog

No pages long enough for my words to go unsung

Sad to think this is where you wanted to end up

And I can't believe, but now I see

It's just like pulling teeth

I could've swore I heard you scream

You know you've got some nerve when you feel no pain

But I don't have to feel like pulling teeth

I don't care what you have to say

You know you struck a nerve, but I feel OK and

I don't have to live this way

Through it all, you're still tired and miserable

How much more do I have to say?

Or should I play? Oh

God damn

Yeah

You're done

It's just like pulling teeth

I could've swore I heard you scream

You know you've got some nerve when you feel no pain

But I don't have to feel like pulling teeth

I don't care what you have to say

You know you struck a nerve, but I feel OK and

I don't have to live this

I don't have to feel like

I don't have to live this way

God damn
