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.
When all around you seem against you
You're a square peg in a round hole
Somebody trying to rope and fence you
Here's a bit of advice you should know
When i'm starting to boil - going out of my head
I remember the words my daddy said
Chorus:
Don't get mad - get even. it's the only game in town
Don't get mad - get even. can't keep a good man
Keep a good man down
Down to the ground
When a lady tries to teach a lesson
Trying hard to make you look a fool
Shucking 'n' jiving an' messing
Try and remember - remember this rule
If you're getting tired of being a joke
Don't get all fired up - you're starting to choke
Repeat chorus
Don't get mad - get even. it's the only game in town
Don't get mad - get even. can't keep a good man
Keep a good man down
Can't keep him down
Don't play fair - play dirty
Where there's a will there's a way
Don't give in - don't show mercy
Every dog - every dog - every dog must have its day
Don't get mad - get even - don't get mad - get even (x2)
Get mad - get mad...
