[Verse]
Beaming from the center of the earth, it's so real
(Wanna struggle with the alligators in the mud)
(Wanna struggle with the alligators in the mu—u—u—d)

(Wanna struggle with the alligators in the mud)
(Wanna struggle with the alligators in the mu—u—u—d)
[Chorus]

I learned to love monotony
Hangdog at the front of the line
(Wanna struggle with the alligators in the mud)
Beacon of democracy
Plain is how I ought to be
Patient 'til lobotomy time
(Wanna struggle with the alligators in the mud)
