Only you know what you want
better go go go and get some
Only you know what you need
look inside, man ya got the key-ey
You gotta be what you want
no one else is gonna give it to you
there's only one thing that's real
you gotta be man, what you wanna see
Up, down looking all around
searching for the enemy
who know when you'll be found
Scope up, living in the trench
so sick and tired of livin' in this stench
Stand up, looking for directions
see my enemy in the mirror reflection
Oh my, where did he go?
Will my best friend become my foe? cause
All I want is, to be free, yes
Free above the whole debris and
every day is just so mundane when we
think this all is reality, 'cuz
Only you know what you want
better go go go and get some
Only you know what you need
look inside, man ya got the key-ey
You gotta be what you want
no one else is gonna give it to you
there's only one thing that's real
you gotta be man, what you wanna see
Lock, load, ready to go
man I gotta focus, get the show on the road
So damn used to get the fight
when I ain't fight man I don't feel right
So how long can I live like this?
Lookin' for a kiss while using my fist
Hey man, fallin' underway
it's all a game so I'm gonna play, 'cuz
All I want is, just to be free, yea
free above the whole debris and
every day is just so mundane when we
think this all is reality, 'cuz
Only you know what you want
better go go go and get some
Only you know what you need
look inside, man ya got the key-ey
You gotta be what you want
no one else is gonna give it to you
there's only one thing that's real
you gotta be man, what you wanna see
What you waitin' for cute little Easter bunny?
help you with the money, boy
mmm, won't you go and get it?
What ya waiting for, big fat santa claus
help ya with the flaws man
boy won't ya go and get it?
Whatcha waitin' for
your mommy and your daddy
just to help you with the baddest boy
boy, won't you go and get it?
what's your mickey to the mouse with the bomb in your house
Whatcha gonna do?
BOOM! yeah, now go and get it
Hey hey hey!
Only you know what you want
better go go go and get some
Only you know what you need
look inside, man ya got the key-ey
You gotta be what you want
no one else is gonna give it to you
there's only one thing that's real
you gotta be man, what you wanna see
Only you know what you want
better go go go and get some
Only you know what you need
look inside, man you got the key-ey
You gotta be what you want
no one else is gonna give it to you
there's only one thing that's real
you gotta be man, what you wanna see, yea
