Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Kinder Words lyrics

No time now for losing tempers

or filling up with rage or anger

flying off the handle could be detrimental

calmer hands are called for here

a breath or two might be applied

we'll count to ten and then decide

a rash decision - crash collision

damage done beyond repair

kinder words here we could pick

a kind approach might do the trick

hurt you, hurt me, well that needs to stop

kinder words here we could choose

we've kind of got a lot to lose

the temperature we need that to drop

a wrong move now might spell disaster

a selfish one might spell it faster

let's relax, review the facts

for all involved that might be best

a world of difference might be made

if our next move could be delayed

we'll sort it out and we'll talk about

just what it was that caused this mess

kinder words here we could pick

a kind approach might do the trick

hurt you, hurt me, that's the worst thing we could do

kinder words here we could choose

we've kind of got a lot to lose

watch what we say, don't walk away, we'll see it through

kinder words here we could pick

a kind approach might do the trick

hurt you, hurt me, well that needs to stop

kinder words here we could choose

we've kind of got a lot to lose

the temperature we need that to drop
