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.
You yell out in defiance
You're backed up against that wall
They're up there clutchin' their guns, man and it makes you feel real small
So you can cuss,spit,throw bottles,broken glass
But it all ends with hand cuffs on your hands
You run around and spray paint graffiti on peoples walls
You think that's bitchin, man?
That ain't nothin at all
So you can cuss,spit,throw bottles,broken glass
But it ends with a swift kick to your ass
You yell out in defiance
You're backed up against the wall
They're up there clutchin' their guns, man it makes you feel real small
So you can cuss,spit,throw bottles,broken glass
But it all ends with hand cuffs on your hands
