[Verse 1]
Ab G F F
I want my money back, I'm down here drowning in your fat
Ab G F F
You got me on my knees praying for everything you lack
Ab G F F
I ain't afraid of you, I'm just a victim of your fears
Ab G F F
You cower in your tower praying that I'll disappear
Ab G F F
I got another plan, one that requires me to stand
Ab G F F
On the stage or in the street, don't need no microphone or beat
Ab G F F
And when you hear this song, if you ain't dead then sing along
Ab G F F
Bang and strum to these here drums 'till you get where you belong
[Chorus]
Ab G F F Ab
I got a list of demands, written on the palm of my hands
G F F
I ball my fist and you're gonna know where I stand

See somebody? Try and free somebody?

Ab G E E
I wrote a song for you today while I was sitting in my room
Ab G E E
I jumped up on my bed today and played it on a broom
Ab G E E
I didn't think that it would be a song that you would hear
Ab G E E
But when I played it in my head, I made you reappear
Ab G E E
I wrote a video for it, and I acted out each part
Ab G E E
And then I took your picture out and taped it to my heart
Ab G E
I've taped you to my heart, dear girl, I've taped you to my
E Ab G E E
Heart and if you pull away from me you'll tear my life apart
[Chorus]

Ecstasy, suffering, Echinacea, buffering
Ab G F F
We aim to remember what we choose to forget

God's just a baby, and her diaper is wet
[Verse 3]
Ab G F F
Call the police! I'm strapped to the teeth
Ab G F F
And liable to disregard your every belief
Ab G F F
Call on the law! I'm fixin' to draw
Ab G F F
A line between what is and seems and call up a brawl
Ab G F F
Callin' 'em now! Cause it's about to go pow!
Ab G F F
I'm standing on the threshold of the ups and the downs
Ab G F F
Call up a truce! Cause I'm about to break loose
Ab G F F
Protect ya neck, cause, son, I'm breaking out of my noose
[Chorus]
