I got a two ton wreck wrapped around my neck 
A weekend bender, on bustend suspender 
I’ve aged three years, cried a couple of tears 
I told the cop i coul’nt remember 
When i saw you 
Where you were 
Who you were with 
I only wish that you both would phone 
And try not to surrender 
I told the judge i couldn’t remember 

And as you are answering all of their questions 
I have just got one suggestion 

Try not to stutter 

I was Jo Cool for an indian summer 
A camp fire wag, a long distance runner 
I had the big eyes following my every move 
But icouldn’t let down or I’d lose 
There was a snot nose kid trying to blow my cover 
If they won’t buy that I’ll tell them another 
Then two of the boys shot down my noised 
The one with the van and his brother 

They casually mentioned a couple of kids 
An unspoken challenge, ok here 

Try not to stutter 

She was of to base to know the meaning of fear 
With her cutt-offs swaying from here to there 
The music’s her maker, the giver the taker 
That’s what i hear 
She smiled so fine, but not very friendly 
With a studied wink, „Oh Baby you sned me!“ 

You’ve got a box full of trophies that’s what i hear 

And as you try to fashion the perfetct time 
There’s just one thing to keep in mind 

Try not to stutter 

(you can mumble, soft and low, mutter mutter so they think you know,  
but there’s just one thing that has got to go) 

Try not to stutter
