For you to tell me I'm way out of line, kidnIs an understatementnToday I'm bold enough to start a war onnEveryone around mennAnd if you run, don't ever stop...nnWhen you retreat againnMake it far enough to lose your way backnI'll be a gentlemannAnd leave it to you to keep your distancennTo say the least, I've been so very tired of younOf all of thisnTime and again, trying to bury younGod it feels better nownnLike an empire crumbling at my feetnI saw your character crackingnAnd it was call and responsenNow I no longer hear younnWhen you retreat againnMake it far enough to lose your way backnI'll be a gentlemannAnd leave it to you to keep your distancennI was so many things before being honestnAnd I'll be so many more before I do it againnnThese words are alleviationnI'll brush you out of my headnI'm not taking myself back to prisonnI'll bring myself back from the deadnnSo long my friend, you are forgotten...nnWhen you retreat againnMake it far enough to lose your way backnI'll be a gentlemannAnd leave it to you to keep your distancennI was so many things before being honestnAnd I'll be so many more before I do it again
