If you try to get close to me
Be prepared, it might hurt
'Cause I live like the human I am
So my nails will catch some dirt

Don't expect a knight on a horse
To come rescue the princess in you
I got me on my mind
I put myself first and so should you

If you find this too hard to survive
Please think before u say farewell
Without the history of my past
I would be an empty shell

The bags that we carry around
Contain fragments of yesterday
The heavier the load the harder to cope
But gas for the gray

Mmm, don't you listen to the choir of jealous people full of hate
If they have nothing better in their life, I swear inside they ache, they ache

Whatever this town makes you think of me
I'll still be around when the final bell rings
Whatever this town makes you think of me

There's nothing that they can do this city hasn't already done
There's no need to be scared so I laugh in their face when they pull their gun
There's nothing that they can do this city hasn't already done
There's no need to be scared so I laugh in their face when they pull their gun

Whatever this town makes you think of me
I'll still be around when the final bell rings
Whatever this town makes you think of me
I'll still be around when the final bell rings
Whatever this town makes you think of me
I'll still be around when the final bell rings
