I can't eat, I can't sleep
Knowing that you're on your midnight creep
I can't jump. I can't jive
Knowing that you want me dead or alive
There's no half way with you
You see red, white and blue
What holds your head on could use another screw
Come on, do your worst, boy, that's the way, that's the way
Hit me where it hurts, boy, that's the way, that's the way
Puff until you burst, boy, that's the way, that's the way
But I'll never give it up, I'll never give it up
I'll put you in my loser file
I don't need your reptile smile
I prefer you out of range
Stare at somebody else for a change
When the sky fell in, you cried
And blackness welled inside
And how your little brain got twisted and fried
You're someone I can't help betray
You know you built me up that way, that way, that way
I don't run, I don't care
Some day we're going to meet somewhere
You and me will rock and roll
When you crawl out of your sick little hole
So give me what you got
Put your money in the pot
Let's see what you are and what you're not
