[LYRICS]
OK, kick me in the head
Just cause something that I said
You don't want to know the truth
Cause you're wild and full of youth
Was it something that I said
Something that I said
Something in my head?
You ain't got no friends no more
Cause you kicked them to the floor
Time will tell, and you will see
That it's down to you, not me
Was it something that I said
Something that I said
Something in my head?
OK, now you're on your own
Your self-righteousness has grown
So get off your pedestal
Before you ain't got no friends no more
Was it something that I said
Something that I said
Something in my head?
