A song for those times where you knew if you said something, you'd cause WWIII. Better sometimes to just shut up.

Story behind the song
STORY: I heard some comments coming from people I trusted and should know better. In the presence of mixed company, I didn't say anything, but boy, did I struggle to keep my lips zipped. LYRICS: I wanted this song to be verbose to show the narrator really has the vocabulary to completely tell someone off -- if he/she so chooses. Prima facie-- to judge on first sight Elocution -- (noun) a high ability to speak (from eloquent) Again, the narrator really has the means to give someone an earful. FAVORITE PART: The ending, cause it's sassy and I mean it. FIRST TIME I EVER: mixed drums in with a song. I might make a habit of it.
Lyrics
We only say what we've been told True that you can break free from the mold But it would be a fallacy to Say that you don't judge prima facie Meet my silent resolution As I fight back elocution REFRAIN: Gonna bite my tongue All the stupid things you've said and done On my lips are words I might regret but biting My lip doesn't hurt yet I've gotta bite my tongue So I bite my tongue It always comes as a surprise When the ones that always compromise Hatred for humanity Are members of your fricking family Meet my silent resolution As I fight back elocution REFRAIN BRIDGE: Bite my tongue am i the same as everyone If i don't say a thing is that as bad as Passively listening Cause if i listen they might assume I don't mind being in the same room Here's my toe drawing the line Are words malignant or benign? Meet my silent resolution As I fight back elocution REFRAIN: Gonna bite my tongue Yeah yeah yeah I can recognize minorities I know cause in this case it's me I've gotta bite my tongue I've gotta bite my tongue I've gotta bite my tongue Cause I don't want to piss off anyone
