It Won't Be Me - The Allergies, Andy Cooper

And now ladies and gentlemen

What you’ve all been waiting for

Whoo

Come on, come on, come on

Hey!

Check it out now

Oh dear, here we go again

He’s walking over to me like I’m a no-friend

So I call out his name and shake hands

But I’m already crafting my escape plans

Cause this cat’s looking to start an argument

And he’ll be determined to make me a part of it

Some folks aren’t happy without conflict

But I’m not in the mood to suffer through nonsense

When he’s speaking his words

He just seeks to preterve

To the point that it tweaks every nerd

But you can’t be direct 'cause he might get upset

So you learn to discern and deflect

See I just wanna make this conversation end

If it gets him off my back you know I’m happy to pretend

And so I

Say whatever you want to hear

Cause we do better when I’m insincere

Now you might find someone to provoke

And poke 'till they’re ready to choke

But it won’t be me, nah

Said it won’t be me, nah

I gotta go!

Won’t be me

It won’t be me

It won’t be me

It won’t be me

It won’t be me

Mr. Cinical, loves to get critical

Dragging you into a fight that’s unwinnable

He’s a grand antagonist

Pulling out loose chap from his bag of tricks

There’s no doubt he want’s to spread venom

And if you get caught in his web you gotta let him

But the trick is to minimize static

It’s all about tact and being pragmatic

When he talks imma wait for a pause or a break

Check my watch, dry to dodge all the hate

Look he’s trying to prod, but I smile and I nod

Hey, I won’t deny, I’m a fraud

They say you shouldn’t lie and I don’t disagree

But if you can’t hear the truth then what’s the use of honesty?

And so I

Say whatever you want to hear

Cause we do better when I’m insincere

Now you might troll some horrible soul

That you can drag into your black hole

But it won’t be me, nah

Said it won’t be me, nah

Won’t be me

It won’t be me

It won’t be me

It won’t be me

It won’t be me

It won’t be me

It won’t be me

I gotta get on

Gotta get on, gotta get on

Gotta get on, gotta get on

Gotta get on, gotta get on

Gotta get on, gotta get on

Gotta get on, gotta get on

Gotta get on, gotta get on

Gotta get on, gotta get on

Gotta get on, gotta get on

It won’t be me

It won’t be me

It won’t be me (Not today)

It won’t be me (You better learn)

It won’t be me

It won’t be me
