Initiative

You're holding your breath
 It's a particular kind of stress
 You have a razor-sharp tongue
 When you want to, is it now?
 You're losing the game
 It's a belligerent style of play
 And you're resistant to change
 Just when you need to
 Show me how
 Initiative
 Why can't you show some initiative?
 Initiative
 Why can't you show some?
 I'm not holding your hand
 It's not your typical way out
 But when the crunch time come around, around
 You move to the back of the line
 I think I know what you need
 And are you listening carefully?
 (You seem so sorry)
 When you have to, is it now?
