jonathan richman - i had to see the harm i’d done before i could change lyrics

i had to see the harm i’d done before i could change
i had to see the harm i’d done before i could change my ways
i thought that i was honest, cause i would not lie
but this did not make me tactful
this did not make me nice
but i had to see the harm i’d done before i could change
i had to see the harm i’d done before i could change my ways

i thought that i was shaking up the status quo
thought that i was going where they dared not go
i was mildly condescending to the patient and the slow
but i had to see the harm i was doing before i could change

i had to see thе harm i had done before i could changе my ways
portant in the air but i couldn’t see them
omens all around that i should’ve spied
why didn’t someone tell me?
that i was doing something wrong?
well, they tried
they tried

well, the signs were all around me
(whatever the f+ck?????)
but my course of understanding was not charted in one day
i had to see the harm id done before i could change
i had to see the harm i was doing before i could change my ways
i had to cringe before i could understand
i had to feel before i could atone
there i was, now humble
and horrified
remorseful
alone
i thought i was amusing
but i missed my mark
i was not outwardly abusing….
