Everybody's a critic,
like they ain't got nothin' else to do.
With your back handed compliments,
but I don't feel inferior to you.
Don't bother to waste your breath,
'cause your thoughts ain't even worth my time.
Didn't know that you knew it all, guess that's why you only needed Nine Ivy Days.
Not everybody's a cynic,
we take life on the lighter side of things. Jealousy's the best compliment,
and you get real green eyed when we sing.
You can never break our strength,
so I suggest that you find the door.
Didn't know that you knew it all, maybe you should have stayed nine more, ivy days.
[Instrumental]
Nine Ivy Days.
Nine Ivy Days.
Nine Ivy Days.
Nine Ivy Days.
Nine Ivy Days,
so many people in the world like to bitch and complain.
We need to smile a little bit more,
so many things that we should be thankful for.
Don't let everyday events on the news cause you to wear a frown.
Because peace love and unity is how Mile 21 gets down.
