White Washed Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Push your controlling values aside, and dissect your own life
It's not about my beliefs
It's about personal choice
It breaks your heart to see me consume
But it shatters mine to see people follow you
Ask me to be blameless

[Hook]
You ask me to be blameless, you ask me to be blameless
But who are you to decide what's right?
Don't say another word
Don't say another word, you've crossed the line!
Don't say another word, you've crossed the line!
Don't say another word, you've crossed the line!
Don't say another word, you've crossed the line!
Let's go!

[Verse 2]
I won't hesitate to put you in your place
You are the straw that's crushing my back
You ask me to be blameless, you ask me to be blameless
But who are you to decide what's right?
Don't say another word

[Bridge]
However, I thank you for this pen and ink ammunition
Thank you for the inspiration

[Breakdown/Outro]
You're the straw that's crushing my back
You are the salt that's burning my wounds
You're the straw that's crushing my back
You are the salt that's burning my wounds
You're the straw that's crushing my back
You are the salt that's burning my wounds

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
