Bulletproof — текст песни (Stiff Little Fingers)

(Jake Burns)

A lot of people come to me
And talk at my face
Try to tell me all that`s wrong in my life
They give me all of their opinions
And their strongly held convictions
And all of them sure that they`re right
I`ll give the truth, the whole truth
And nothing like the truth
`Cos confession id good for the soul
But bad for the neck
Bad for the neck

Everyone believes they`ve something to reveal
And they`re offering me their advice
This can only help me get my life in line
They never stop to ask themselves why
I need some help, some guidance
Some backing and belief
But really all I need is a rest
And if you really want to help me
Just stay out of my way
I need some time to reflect
Just leave me alone

Chorus:
I`m not bulletproof
I`m not bulletproof
I`m not...

Now I don`t take too kindly to your helpful hints
No matter how heartfelt they`re meant
`Cos it usually means I`ve got some business of my own
That you want to get your nose in
Now that`s a fact, you react
Anyway you like
And it don`t make no difference to me
`Cos I`ve met your kind in every walk of life
And I want you to let me be
Let me be

(Chorus)

B.u double l e.t.p.r. double o f
I`m not
B.u double l e.t.p.r. double o f

So for all you instructors, you advisors
And tormentors I`d like to give a little bit back
See the only way I`ll learn is to make my own mistakes
And that`s an undeniable fact
I`ve got to fall and tumble
Bomb and then collapse
If ever I`m going to get it right
And you must stand and watch me
And never interfere
You got to let me live my own life

(Chorus)
