If you feel like a riot, then don't you deny it Put your good foot forward No need for heroics I just want you to show it Now's the time to shine Your independence is a half ass deliverance The train left the station The recognition of the same old condition Your symptoms showing through Well regardless of the truth You still act so aloof In the face of your judge & jury You nave the nerve to say not guilty But can you sting me Can you sting me Right to my rotten bones Well the bells ring out for the crimes of the century By courtesy of your mother The signs reads welcome to the valley of discovery Look at what money can buy Sons & daughters better open your eyes Tell me what you're seeing This submission is a tired tradition It's everyone's sacrifice Well believe you me I've got nothing up my sleeve Except a heart and a chip on my shoulder Yes I'm young and don't like getting older Yeah but can you sting me Can you sting me Right to my rotten bones Come on my sweet little thing What new things can you show me today I got one question I believe it's subjective What is a wasp without her sting? I don't want to sound bitter Yeah you touch me just like murder Living ain't so easy When all I want from you is to sting me Can you sting me
