  • I want my money back
    I'm down here drowning in your fat
    You got me on my knees
    Praying for everything you lack
    I ain't afraid of you
    I'm just a victim of your fears
    You cower in your tower
    Praying that I'll disappear
    I got another plan
    One that requires me to stand
    On the stage or in the street
    Don't need no microphone or beat
    And when you hear this song
    If you ain't dead sing along
    Bang and strum to these here drums
    Till you get where you belong

    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    I'm living hand to mouth
    You wanna be somebody? See somebody?
    Try and free somebody?

    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    I'm living hand to mouth
    Hand to mouth

    I wrote a song for you today
    While I was sitting in my room
    I jumped up on my bed today
    And I played it on a broom
    I didn't think that it would be a song
    That you would hear
    But when I played it in my head
    I made you reappear
    I wrote a video for it
    And I acted out each part
    And then I took your picture out
    And taped it to my heart
    I've taped you to my heart, dear
    I've taped you to my
    Heart and if you pull away from me
    You'll tear my life apart

    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    I'm living hand to mouth
    You wanna be somebody? See somebody?
    Try and free somebody?

    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    I'm living hand to mouth

    Call the police
    I'm strapped to the teeth
    And liable to disregard
    Your every belief
    Call on the law
    I'm fixin' to draw
    A line between what is and seems
    And call up a brawl

    Call 'em right now
    'Cause I'm about to go pow
    I'm standing on the threshold
    Of the ups and the downs
    Call up a truce
    Cause I'm about to bust loose
    Protect ya neck 'cause son
    I'm breaking out of my noose

    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    I'm living hand to mouth
    You wanna be somebody? See somebody?
    Try and free somebody?

    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    I'm living hand to mouth
    Hand to mouth

    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    I'm living hand to mouth
    You wanna be somebody? See somebody?
    Try and free somebody?

    I got a list of demands
    Written on the palm of my hands
    I ball my fist, you're gonna
    Know where I stand
    Hand to mouth
    Hand to mouth
    Hand to mouth Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
