Lyrics

I had a feeling once

That you and I

Could tell each other everything

For two months

But even with an oath

With truth on our side

When you turn away from me

It’s not right

I think ur a contra

My revolution thoughts

Your little arrows of desire

I want to trace them to the source

And the wire

But it’s not useful now

Since we’ve both made up our minds

You’re going to watch out for yourself

And so will I

I think ur a contra

And I think that you’ve lied

Don’t call me a contra

Til you’ve tried

You wanted good schools and friends with pools

You’re not a contra

You wanted rock and roll, complete control

Well, I don’t know

Never pick sides

Never choose between two

Well I just wanted you

I just wanted you

You said,

“Never pick sides

Never choose between two”

Well I just wanted you

I just wanted you

I THINK UR A CONTRA

And I think that you’ve lied

Don’t call me a contra

Til you’ve tried
