I want a chance at the title

I want a shot at the prize

I've had enough of routines

I see right through your memes

And schemes and video lies, yeah

I got to bring home the bacon

There's people counting on me

Won't stand for wheelin' and dealin'

Your hands on healing or astrology



I've paid for my mistakes

I've had the bends, the breaks

I've put my back to the plow

I just want a piece

A little taste at least

Don't care why or how

Oh, I need it now



I'm tired of paying the piper

With hopes I can't entertain

I've got to make my mark

Before I jump that shark

And miss the gravy train

Nobody aims for the middle

We got to swing for the fence

Or else the balance of years

The blood, sweat and tears

Are of no consequence



I've paid for my mistakes

I've had the bends, the breaks

I've put my back to the plow

I just want a piece

A little taste at least

Don't care why or how

Oh, I need it now



Now I'm down so low

That I can't see the ground

And I can feel somebody watching

Like a hunter in the blind

Can I pick myself up one more time

And blow this dust off?



I've paid for my mistakes

I've had the bends, the breaks

I've put my back to the plow

I just want a piece

A little taste at least

Don't care why or how

Oh, I need it now



Take it by love or theft

Before there's nothing left

Selling it by the pound

I need a nouveau riche

The dog is off the leash

And time is winding down

Oh, I need it now
