Sixty Seven

Текст песни

[INTRO] (Soft guitar riff, light percussion) [VERSE 1] I heard it in the school. And then it came out and it started getting worse again so it started getting bad again little kids got corrupt Passed around like a bad‑old spark Big mouths grin, little ones repeat again and again and again and again lalalalala Like trouble got dog poop in the teeth They laugh it off, call it just a joke But some words leave the brain If it stains your mouth, like coffee let it go Don’t feed that word, don’t let it grow or die [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 you little crap of a kid Don’t say 67 Don’t say 67 Keep your words clean Let the bad one leave ok I am here to help with the 67 problem [VERSE 2] Some people wear it like a crown right Like acting tough makes them look like a little crap kid But kids don’t need that heavy stain on their brains Don’t borrow mess, don’t take the shame Use your voice for something bright For jokes that land and don’t bite like death For names that heal, for words that build Not that dirty little thrill lalalalala [PRE‑CHORUS] When the room gets loud And the older kids shout Don’t copy that tone Make your own jokes but don’t use that word [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 you alone [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”)
