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 want my money back

I'm down here drowning in your fat

You got me on my knees

Praying for everything you lack

I ain't afraid of you

I'm just a victim of your fears

You cower in your tower

Praying that I'll disappear

I got another plan

One that requires me to stand

On the stage or in the street

Don't need no microphone or beat

And when you hear this song

If you ain't dead sing along

Bang and strum to these here drums

Till you get where you belong

I got a list of demands

Written on the palm of my hands

I ball my fist, you're gonna

Know where I stand

I'm living hand to mouth

You wanna be somebody? See somebody?

Try and free somebody?

I got a list of demands

Written on the palm of my hands

I ball my fist, you're gonna

Know where I stand

I'm living hand to mouth

Hand to mouth

I wrote a song for you today

While I was sitting in my room

I jumped up on my bed today

And I played it on a broom

I didn't think that it would be a song

That you would hear

But when I played it in my head

I made you reappear

I wrote a video for it

And I acted out each part

And then I took your picture out

And taped it to my heart

I've taped you to my heart, dear

I've taped you to my heart

And if you pull away from me

You'll tear my life apart

I got a list of demands

Written on the palm of my hands

I ball my fist, you're gonna

Know where I stand

I'm living hand to mouth

You wanna be somebody? See somebody?

Try and free somebody?

I got a list of demands

Written on the palm of my hands

I ball my fist, you're gonna

Know where I stand

I'm living hand to mouth

Call the police

I'm strapped to the teeth

And liable to disregard

Your every belief

Call on the law

I'm fixin' to draw

A line between what is and seems

And call up a brawl

Call 'em right now

'Cause I'm about to go pow

I'm standing on the threshold

Of the ups and the downs

Call up a truce

Cause I'm about to bust loose

Protect ya neck 'cause son

I'm breaking out of my noose

I got a list of demands

Written on the palm of my hands

I ball my fist, you're gonna

Know where I stand

I'm living hand to mouth

You wanna be somebody? See somebody?

Try and free somebody?

I got a list of demands

Written on the palm of my hands

I ball my fist, you're gonna

Know where I stand

I'm living hand to mouth

Hand to mouth

I got a list of demands

Written on the palm of my hands

I ball my fist, you're gonna

Know where I stand

I'm living hand to mouth

You wanna be somebody? See somebody?

Try and free somebody?

I got a list of demands

Written on the palm of my hands

I ball my fist, you're gonna

Know where I stand

Hand to mouth

Hand to mouth

Hand to mouth
