I heard you got robbed last week Did you know I got shot last night? It's like dependency on a game called hearsay You hear it said but did you hear it right? So I was walking the bricks in my front yard They're uneven and cracking with age I made an attempt to arrange them perfectly But when I got done they wouldn't fit into place And I can't say when I plan on giving up I'm trying to think Don't know when it will end I heard a rumor you went on a trip Did you know I just got back? I had a chance to think while I was away I pointed fingers of blame Until they were pointing at me So I rode my temper until I heard the water But I hit a fence that was chained and barred I looked and tried to find another way in That's when I finally realized That I'd been trying too hard
