"[[Keep Fishin']]" still seems small | |||
Is that the best that all of you can do? | |||
Now to my challengers | |||
Still think with little words | |||
You're so upset, you're pissing on yourself | |||
Wombat, with little teeth | |||
You've been declawed with the padded feet | |||
Trying to think of something sharp | |||
To say to me to pierce my heart | |||
A mob is rising up | |||
They want to scream and shout | |||
And tear your body limb from limb real slow | |||
You got to focus now | |||
Reconcentrate the chi | |||
And get them monkeys off your back for good | |||
Bait me, and you think I'll fall | |||
For the words you've written upon the wall | |||
Never before have I shown a weak side | |||
And I'm not about to let the pain outside | |||
Bait me, and you think I'll fall | |||
For the words you've written upon the wall | |||
Never before have I shown a weak side | |||
And I'm not about to let the pain outside | |||
Wombat, with little teeth | |||
You've been declawed with the padded feet | |||
Trying to think of something sharp | |||
To say to me to pierce my heart | |||
Their mob is rising up | |||
They want to scream and shout | |||
And tear your body limb from limb real slow | |||
You got to focus now | |||
Reconcentrate the chi | |||
And get them monkeys off your back for good</poem>}} | |||
