(If I speak for myself I need a lot more for my health)
If I speak for myself
I need a lot more for my health
The more I see of you the danger
Everything familiar is getting stranger and stranger
I am not the one who's got a thing to bring you down
I don't want to be the one who's gotta bring it up
But
That's a minor point, Major
Your officer's report betrays ya
There is no good retort that saves ya (that saves ya)
I don't like to be the one who's gotta bring you down
I don't like to bring the thing that's gonna bring it up
But
That's a minor point, Major
That's a minor point
No matter who it is brings you bad news
No matter who it is will have to do
The best that's hers or his to tell you true
You better read this off the wire
You better heed
This feed's on fire
I'm fired
Now I'm not gonna be the one who's gonna bring you down
I'm not gonna be the one who's gonna bring it up
But
That's a minor point, Major
That's a minor point
Your officer on point, Major
Whomever you anoint
Will have to fill my shoes
The bearer of bad news . . .
No matter who you choose
Will have to sing your blues
