Lyrics/Song
Structure:
======================
---> Play Riff 1 (x1)
--->
Play Riff 1 over:
Even if I
cared to try I couldn't please them
Their petty complaints, stupid restraints ain't gonna work
It's all to cheese and
Regret, don't fret, just push it away and
say I'm like the wind
Relentless
and irritating a position that I think worth stating
---> Play Riff 2
over:
Swing I'm doin' my thing
groove I'm showin' and provin'
That maverick deal that makes you feel
ill
It runs in my family
Fussin' and cussin' and bitchin' and
kickin'
If you ask me I think
that you're just chicken to try
Don't pretend you're my friend
Remember I said it one day you'll regret it
---> Play Riff
3
---> Play Chorus I over:
Oh God I can't believe it
You have asked and so you shall receive it in the ear
Victory draws near but no fear my dear I'll
be here another year
---> Play Chorus II (x2)
---> Play Riff 1
over:
What's it all about I scan
a new plan for the next year
In
nineties try these you wanna just bust out
I cool out and I'm done bein' mad
To just know hate well that's so sad what a
life, strife
Backfire and your
face know your place come on like
---> Play Riff 2 over:
Word they come like a herd but they
said
We'd drop like a lead
zeppelin in your face
But that's
nothin' home team I ain't got to my ace in the hole
Yet, bet that I will get my fill, get my
thrill we'll
Be back one day and
we'll try not to spite
But until
then you stay out of my sight
---> Play Riff 3
---> Play Chorus
I over:
Oh, God, I can't believe
it this groove's so dope
I'm
about to have a fit and here's a flash
I freaked so hard I got whiplash
And when it comes to writing stay away from our stash
---> Play
Chorus II (x2)
---> Play Bridge
---> Play Riff 2 (Slowly &
w/emphasis) over:
Swing I'm
doin' my thing groove I'm showin' and provin'
That maverick deal that makes you feel ill, it runs in our
family
Stoppin' and goin' and lyin' and trying'
My brain is on fire it feels like I'm
flying through space
Yes doing
my best but it'll get better this much I confess
---> Play Riff 3
--->
Play Chorus I over:
Oh God I
can't believe it but when this era's through I'll say that's it
Edification will take place pull up the
reigns and get out of the race
---> Play Chorus II over:
My bros are down for the Unity, 311 is down
for the Unity
Unanimity of the
Unity, that's right
---> Play Chorus II (x1)
---> End on an
open E (022100)
