The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can kill standing still
It's easy
I can scare with a stare
It's easy
Hey Ringo, It's sad though
Because it's hard to walk tall
When you're small
Whether dressed in disciplined style
Nevermind
When you're small
You walk as if you're falling
I attack from the back
Because it's easy
And I can assail
While wearing very nice jewellery
Oh hey Ringo, It's sad though
Because it's hard to walk tall
When you're small
Whether dressed in disciplined style
Nevermind
When you're small
You spend your life crawling
I burst into public bars
And I throw my weight around
And no one can even see me
No one can even see me
Nobody can see me
No one can see me
Success is just a mess, Oh
Hey gringo, It's sad though
Because it's hard to walk tall
When you're small
Whether dressed in disciplined style
Nevermind
When you're small
You're bound to look appalling
So compadre please do this for me
Compadre please weep for me
Compadre, compadre
Please weep for me
