Iron & Wine

Don t tell me all the shit you ve done
How you push your luck with everyone
Cause you re mean upbringing s left you a mess

Don t tell me all the shit you d say
If some fool jerked you around that away
You ain t done half of what you confess

That ain t you
As far as I can tell
That ain t you
Although you wear it well
That ain t you
After all
You re just standin up layin down straight and tall

Don t tell me that you understand
How to brave the world and be a man
Unless you must convince yourself

Don t tell me I should be like you
I should learn from what you say and do
Don t ask the poor to share the wealth

That ain t you
As far as I can tell
That ain t you
Although you wear it well
That ain t you
After all
You re just standin up layin down straight and tall
