Strawman
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 think you're pretty bright 'cause mama called you son
That don't mean nothing, no
You got your bloody knuckles from breaking bricks with all your muscle
It don't mean nothing, no
Wasting so much energy
Searching for an enemy
To ease the doubt and keep your hand
You can't knock it down like a strawman
Change my gear shift into drive
Stay awake while I'm alive
With good humor and a shoddy plan
I can set afire to my strawman
Hey you know things could always be easier
Hey but though we all complain
Even so watch out for meteors
Meat-eaters
And other forms of wild game
Sold a millions diamonds but never gave up one
That don't mean nothing, no
You got your bloody nose from breaking bricks with all the girls
It don't mean nothing, no
Hey little Scotty why you on the loose you got your head and your shoulders and a good excuse
Excuse the dues freezing your plan you can knock it down like a strawman
Hey little Scotty why you on the loose you got your head and your shoulders and a good excuse
Excuse the dues freezing your plan you can knock it down like a strawman
Hey you know things could always be easier
Hey but though we all complain
Even so watch out for meteors
Meat-eaters
And other forms of wild game
Game
If only this if only that
Change the one thing holding me back
And I can make it like it's not
I'll be so free sitting on top
The world it flies it does not wait
For you to accept your own fate
Come to in all your foolish pride
Hear in lies truth you may despise
The skies don't care much who you are
They'll strike you down with a meteor
Wasting so much energy
Searching for an enemy
To ease the doubt and keep my hand
I can't knock it down like a strawman
