How Many Times it Takes

from GIVE EM THE BIRD by Tavo Carbone

lyrics

How many times does it take
To know what's going on
How many times does it take
To write a different fucking kind of song
How many times does it take
Tell me how many times does it take

How many times does it take
To tell the bad apart from the good
How many times will it take
To understand what cannot be understood
How many times does it take tell me
You fucking asshole

How many times does it take
To get to know all the things you should've known
How many times does it take
To make the best of your time
How many times does it take
To know you haven't faked
How many times can mistakes mark your fate

Elucidate
Your appetite can't digest all you ate
How many times does it take
Oh driving around with the people
Trying not to talk on my phone
In the dark of the nighttime
Oh who's that person smiling at themselves in the dark of the night
In their car too
Don't mind them or the way that they drive they're on their phone
Don't want to disturb them they're on their phone

Oh who's this next person
I suppose could wear some kind of
Shiny reflective garment on at night while jogging
They're on their phone
Oh I guess I hit a woman and child
Well they had it coming
They were on their phones

How many times does it take
To say you've made a mistake
How many times does it take
How many times can it possibly take?
