I Should Have Known Better

                             
i got in a tussle
                             
with a stranger on the train
                                   
his face was familiar
                             
but i couldn t place the name
             
it got to be ugly
                 
threats were made
                                      
i hope that no-one who could see
                                          
would be someone who d know you

                                  
i had a small run-in
                          
with a driver and his wife
                                     
you might call it road rage
                             
but the guy outdid the light
             
conceding nothing
              
i held my ground
                      
and now that it s over
                              
i ve said that there must be 
                 
a better way

               
i keep it in mind
                         
eight times out of nine
                       
i m wrong or i m right
                       
it s not worth a fight
                        
but what s hard to define
                         
makes it tough to decide
              
you don t realize
                       
until after it has begun
                       
whether this is the one

                                       
i probably knew better
                                       
i probably knew better

             
conceding nothing
              
i held my ground
                      
and now that it s over
                             
i ve said that there must be
