One, two, three

If you wanna write a letter,
Write a letter
If you'd rather make a phone call
Pick the phone up -- call me
But if you had to say it all with a pop song
Couldn't you at least written me a good one

[Chorus]
She's brainwashed you, brainwashed you, brainwascht you too.
She's brainwashed you, brainwashed you, brainwascht you too.

Was it just a simple rewind and erase
Was your mind squeaky clean in the first place

If you gotta write an essay
Do your research -- if you've got to
Stick your nose in a boy and girl fight
Hear both sides first
There's something wrong being copied on a memo
In the form of a bad country demo

[Chorus]

Is there a funnel from her mind to your mouth now
Because you don't edit anything
It just comes out

I gotta say it's pretty gay
Trading jabs in a pop song
So maybe next time
E should just have a dance off
A dance off

Isn't there something in the bible
About forgiveness and love
And more importantly about throwing
Stones and what your house is made of

You might reflect upon your own arrangement
94' getting blown in your basement

She's brainwashed you, brainwashed you, brainwascht you too
She's brainwashed you, brainwashed you, brainwascht you too.

She's brainwascht you - integrity
She's brainwascht you - family
She's brainwascht you - all night rhyming dictionary
