Call It Even

Please let's call it even
You make me just as sick as I make you
We're both contaminated through and through
Life's a lesson in what not to do

Please don't rearrange my face with your eyes
My jowls can't handle one more surprise
Reserve your snap judgments till you realize they're wrong
I don't expect the industry to get behind this song

Please let's call it even
This is not a contest to choose the better person
I won't be happy even if I win
I get no joy to see you lost in sin

Please don't rearrange my face with your eyes
I understand that I'm just like other guys
Please don't insult your life, you'll think better of it
There's got to be someone out there who'd love it

Please let's call it even
Allow me to take part in this peculiar celebration
Allow me to believe that I deserve to be your friend
Maybe it's not a matter of deserving anything
I hope it's not a matter of deserving anything

Please don't rearrange my face with your eyes
My jowls can't handle one more surprise
Reserve your snap judgments till you realize they're wrong
I don't expect the industry to get behind this song
I don't expect the industry to get behind this song
