Strum
D-DU-UDU
  (/E)
 I was born, upside down
 I felt my grandma  put my feet
  (/E)
  on the ground
 They put a spoon,  in my mouth
 And everyone  was shocked to
  (/E)
  hearme shout
 Well I knew  I couldn't take all
  the dog  food that they make
 I'd just as soon  as put myself
  on a stake  and burn
I  saw it comin' around
I  saw it comin' around,  yeah
I  saw it comin' around
 So I just,  yeah
 Shook my head and walked
  away.
 (Do 1st stanza chords)
 I grew up, in a town
 Where everybody tried to push
  me around
 The girls were alright, but
  the guys were tough
 They're always buggin' me with
  macho stuff
 Well, I ain't no stupid
  fighter, I go for flower
  power
 I've been running every race
  just to save my face, yeh
 (Repeat Refrain)
 Well,  they try  to see if you
  care
 It's  just  a matter of not
  begging for more
You  know it's  really suicidal
  to just give in
  E E--
 With people you can never
  really be sure--
 O-hoh when  it gets down to this
 (Do 1st stanza chords)
 They'll eat you up
 When the words get in your head
 They'll get you up
 It's a saving grace to have
  enough
 When you find yourself in a
  compromising spot
 You should know, you shouldn't
  take
 All that dog food that they
  make
 You'd just as soon as put
  yourself on a stake and burn
You'll  see it comin' around,
You'll  see  it coming, comin'
  around,
 When  you see  it  coming around,
  you just, yeah
Shake  yer head and walk away
 Yeah!  (Walk away)  alright!
 Shake, shake, shake, shake
  yer head;(2x)
 Yes, the one you think with..ho
  ---ohhC'mon, c'mon
