Story Behind The Song
The inspiration came from an incident at our local church. A couple young skateboarders were skating in the parking lot and on the rails. The church staff confronted them and an argument ensued which lead to the placement of "No Skateboarding Aloud" signs on the building. Where we really caring or concerned about who they were inside? Hmmmm.

Lyrics
I walk in, you are walking out
I wonder what you think of me
But you don't think of me at all
(chorus)
So I'll bother you, I'll bother you
'Cuz I don't think a lot of you
I'll bother you until you bother with me
I feel the look behind the wall
You see me from your point of view
But I'm not what you say I am
So I'll bother you, I'll bother you
'Cuz I don't think a lot of you
I'll bother you until you bother with me
(bridge)
Tell me, how am I to ask
For anything I need?
You don't really want to know
What's inside you and me
We are both afraid and hide
With a trace of fear inside
And our anger open wide
(Inst. Intense)
I think that it is time to go
You don't have anything for me
I'm going, you can have it all
And I won't bother you, won't bother you
'Cuz I don't think a lot of you
I won't bother you so you won't bother me
And I won't bother you, won't bother you
'Cuz I don't think a lot of you
I won't bother you so you won't bother me
And I won't bother you, won't bother you
'Cuz I don't think a lot of you
I won't bother you so you won't have to bother with... me
(repeat and finish on Em)
Don't bother me, I won't bother you
Don't bother me, don't bother me, don't bother me
