<poem>I got mo' beats than y'all

"[[Keep Fishin']]" still seems small

Is that the best that all of you can do?
===Rivers Cuomo demo===
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>

So tell me what did I do to you
So tell me what did I do to you
Except break down and fucking rule?
