He could be dead and I'm supposed to walk away
I won't remember a thing come the summertime
Handful of quarters make me feel okay
Ah ah who's gonna have to pay
Ah ah who do I love today
I love what's mine cause what's mine is all mine
Gives me a reason to go get more
Don't really care where I go to get it
I ain't too clear about \"What's yours is yours\"
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
But before you demand it
Take a look out your back door
If you don't like a single thing that I'm saying
If you're offended when I demonstrate
Don't mean a damn to me and I shall continue
Hope you won't mind if I control my fate
Ah ah who will I have to fight
Ah ah to defend my created right
I'll defend what's mine cause what's mine will be all mine
It's what I'd fight for what I'd bleed
I roll the dice on the grand experiment
While I am strong I will get what I need
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
But before you demand it
Take a look out your back door
If you're concerned with the moral imperative
If you are tripping on the right thing to do
Come to my office with the exclusive screenplay
I think there's money in a book about you
Ah ah what have you got to lose
Ah ah when are you gonna choose
I choose what's mine so what's mine will be all mine
Gonna make a million on the folly of men
Don't even care about no consequences
Turn my damnation into chapter ten
You take it for granted
I guess that's what it's for
But before you demand it
Take a look out your back door
I walk right by him and he's freezing his ass off He could be dead and I'm supposed to walk away I won't remember a thing come the summertime Handful of quarters make me feel okay Ah ah who's gonna have to pay Ah ah who do I love today I love what's mine cause what's mine is all mine Gives me a reason to go get more Don't really care where I go to get it I ain't too clear about \"What's yours is yours\" You take it for granted I guess that's what it's for But before you demand it Take a look out your back door If you don't like a single thing that I'm saying If you're offended when I demonstrate Don't mean a damn to me and I shall continue Hope you won't mind if I control my fate Ah ah who will I have to fight Ah ah to defend my created right I'll defend what's mine cause what's mine will be all mine It's what I'd fight for what I'd bleed I roll the dice on the grand experiment While I am strong I will get what I need You take it for granted I guess that's what it's for But before you demand it Take a look out your back door If you're concerned with the moral imperative If you are tripping on the right thing to do Come to my office with the exclusive screenplay I think there's money in a book about you Ah ah what have you got to lose Ah ah when are you gonna choose I choose what's mine so what's mine will be all mine Gonna make a million on the folly of men Don't even care about no consequences Turn my damnation into chapter ten You take it for granted I guess that's what it's for But before you demand it Take a look out your back door Explain Request ×
