Dave Grohl on “Live-In Skin”:

[Verse 1]
Take your payroll
And your lottery
There's a place I know
There's a robbery
[Pre-Chorus]
And I swear I'll never tell
If you swear you'll never tell
And we'll all make out so well
We will all make out so well
[Chorus]
Head on with my hate
Into the lights ahead
I'm amazed that I'm still standin'
And I demand that we all blend in
[Post-Chorus]
I'm amounted
[Verse 2]
Just the same old
Glitter story
From the seafloor
Metamorphosis
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I can't change back for you
I will not change back for you
I must live in skin that's new
I'm a live-in skin that's new
[Chorus]
Head on with my hate
Into the lights ahead
I'm amazed that I'm still standin'
And I demand that we all blend in
Head on with my hate
Into the lights ahead
I'm amazed that I'm still standin'
And I demand that we all blend in
[Post-Chorus]
I'm amounted
I'm amounted
I'm amounted
I'm amounted
[Bridge]
Turn your insides out to the outside
Turn the outside into the inside
Trade your outside in for the inside
Turn it around again
Turn your insides out to the outside
Turn the outside into the inside
Trade your outside in for the inside
Turn it around again
[Post-Chorus]
I'm amounted
I'm amounted
I'm amounted
I'm amounted
[Outro]
And I can't change back for you
No, I can't change back for you
I'm amounted
