Lisp - Apologies to Shannon Noll

I love Shannon Noll's song 'Lift'. Here are the lyrics. I've rewritten most of it in parody form. My apologies Shannon. Pity there isn't a Google Video to link so that you can all sing along.

Lisp

I hear you're talking
Sounds like you're slurring
With lisps the hard thing
Is the understanding

It takes forever
To hear your wording
It's time to work on
Your lisps apalling, yeah

This is your speech impediment
Close your mouth and give it rest

[CHORUS]
Cause I know it's hard to be heard
Coz you gotta lisp
You gotta lisp
We have to listen longer
But I know you're stronger
Longer than this
You gotta lisp
You gotta lisp

When you can feel you're
Getting no respect
And nobody listens
It won't stop hap'ning
You gotta struggle
You took a hit
Time to speak up now
Move on from this

You were never meant to be M.C.
Close your mouth and give it rest

[CHORUS]
Cause I know it's hard to be heard
Coz you gotta lisp
You gotta lisp
We have to listen longer
But I know you're stronger
Longer than this
You gotta lisp
You gotta

Lisps provide an awful lot of hurt
Don't give up
No one can understand ya
You'd better speak slow
Let them know
You'd best take your best shot
Don't miss
C'mon don't lisp

You were never meant to be M.C.
Close your mouth and give it rest

[CHORUS]
Cause I know it's hard to be heard
Coz you gotta lisp
You gotta lisp
We have to listen longer
But I know you're stronger
Longer than this
You gotta lisp
You gotta lisp
