Sixty Seven

लिरिक्स

[INTRO] (Soft guitar riff, light percussion) [VERSE 1] I heard it in the schoolyard talk Passed around like a bad‑old spark Big mouths grin, little ones repeat Like trouble got candy in the teeth They laugh it off, call it just a joke But some words leave a nasty smoke If it stains your mouth, let it go Don’t feed that word, don’t let it grow [PRE‑CHORUS] When the room gets loud And the older kids shout Don’t copy that tone Make your own sound now [CHORUS] Don’t say 67 Don’t say 67 It’s rotten on the tongue And it teaches wrong Don’t say 67 Don’t say 67 Keep your words clean Let the bad one leave [VERSE 2] Some people wear it like a crown Like acting tough makes them harder now But kids don’t need that heavy stain Don’t borrow mess, don’t take the shame Use your voice for something bright For jokes that land and don’t bite For names that heal, for words that build Not that dirty little thrill [PRE‑CHORUS] When the room gets loud And the older kids shout Don’t copy that tone Make your own [CHORUS] Don’t say 67 Don’t say 67 It’s rotten on the tongue And it teaches wrong Don’t say 67 Don’t say 67 Keep your words clean Let the bad one leave [BRIDGE] Let’s raise a line that lifts us high Words that sparkle in the sky Speak the truth, let kindness ring The best of us is what we bring [CHORUS] Don’t say 67 Don’t say 67 It’s rotten on the tongue And it teaches wrong Don’t say 67 Don’t say 67 Keep your words clean Let the bad one leave and make something that will make you smile better [OUTRO] (Soft fade out with gentle guitar and echoing “Don’t say sixty‑seven”)
