The Judge

Dave Pirner

I see you passing judgment
It ain't a judgment day
And I can't let you misjudge me that way

Ain't shooting for perfection
I'm scared of my reflection
But I can't let you misjudge me that way

I used to think that I could raise myself above it
You could make me break down and cry
But you can't make me love it

And I can't fake it, you can't take it
I ain't holdin' no grudge

'Cause I can't judge him, and you can't judge him
And who's gonna judge the judge?

Who's gonna judge the judge?

High falootin' aloofing
Has got you in its ways
And I can't let you misjudge me that way

Not that I care what you think of me
But I hear every word that you say
And I can't let you misjudge me that way

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but I can take the blame
You can find yourself a new scapegoat, but I won't play no game

I can't make it, you can't take it
I ain't holding no grudge
'Cause I can't judge him, and you can't judge him
And who's gonna judge the judge?
Who's gonna judge the judge?

Whoa

(What did you do, so beautiful, so pretty
You look so pretty, beautiful)

I see you pointing fingers
You're pointing one my way
And I can't let you misjudge me that way

Now, now, now I never said I was innocent for justice is gonna find a way
And I can't let you misjudge me that way

No, no, no I can't let you misjudge me that way
And I can't let you misjudge me that way
