[Verse 1]
You're looking at me like I must be mad
But I've been through all this before
You'll kick and kick until I'm down
So don't think I'm comin' past my door

Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

Wherever you go, you'll find the same
And the only way you'll ever learn
Just realize that you're to blame
Ah, Oh
Oh
