Some times I can be per fect ly sweet; got this (Eb)sug ar y me all stuffed up in my sleeve.

But like most crea tures down here on the ground, I’m com (Eb)posed of the el e ments mov ing a round.

And I grow and change and I shift and I switch, and it (Db)turns out I’m ac tu ’lly kind of a bitch.

But (Eb)that on ly hap pens when I get pro voked by some (Bbm)piece of shit ass hole we all sad ly know.

And I sit and I write while re mind ing you all that mean (Db)songs are still bet ter than go ing post al.
