UNWRITTEN RULE ... (Men's room etiquette )

He walked into the men's room
Said, "How's it going bud?"
Struck up a conversation
Like it was a social club

My brain recalled a memory
Relayed Man this isn't cool
You don't talk in the men's room
It's an unwritten rule

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Ever since I was a little boy
Just to my Daddy's knees
Engraved within that little brain
Lists of proprieties
As I've grown, they still are known
And most of them hold true
This list of things acceptable
What you do and do not do
~~*~~

He laughed and kept on talking
I went to wash my hands
Surprised he was unaware
That I wasn't talking back

And just as I was leaving
He yelled, "See ya later dude!"
I came to the conclusion
He's missing a few screws

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Cause you don't talk in the men's room
Unless your paper's gone
Do not approach another
Do your business and move on
I'm not looking for a friend
When I walk into that room
You don't visit at the urinal
It's an unwritten rule
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Ever since I was a little boy
Just to my Daddy's knees
Engraved within that little brain
Lists of proprieties
As I've grown, they still are known
And most of them hold true
This list of things acceptable
What you do and do not do
~~*~~

COMPROMISED ..... FEAR AND FAITH

Are you scared
A little frightened
Or totally terrified...

Are you lost
In your suspicions
Does fear bid you run and hide....

Your Faith's been compromised

Hold a grudge
For every stranger
Add your scorn to their dismay

It's been done
Since the beginning
When fear spawns a shallow hate

Does panic cloud your faith

~~~*1st Chorus*~~~
Kill the body not the soul
Do not let fear take them both
God is everlasting and He waits
Drown your fear with faith
~~*~~

Are you scared
A little frightened
Or totally terrified...

Are you lost
In your suspicions
Does fear bid you run and hide....

Your Faith's been compromised

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~ 
Leave the fear and hate
At Hell's wanton gates
Open up your eyes
Let Faith rule your lives...
 For the rest of time.....
~~*~~

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~
Give your body not your soul
do not let fear claim them both
God is everlasting and He waits
Drown your fear with faith
~~*~~
