This is the song for the motherfuckers holdin' me down And this is the song I sing when I'm kicked around 'Cause you pulled me in and you let me drown So deep I pour my heart out now Like never before I'm stronger than the man you used to know Much harder to erase as time has shown And I don't care that you find it hard to believe This is the song for the motherfuckers running away And this is the song we need like the great escape You sucked me in and you bled me dry Goddamn I don't even know why Can you hear me now? I'm stronger than the man you used to know Much harder to erase as time has shown And I don't care that you find it hard to believe And even though I scream these words so loud You wouldn't recognize me now See I'm not the fool you always thought I'd be This is the song for the motherfuckers runnin' your head And this is the song we'll sing along until the bitter living end I'm stronger than the man you used to know Much harder to erase as time has shown And I don't care that you find it hard to believe And even though I scream these words so loud You wouldn't recognize me now See I'm not the fool you always thought I'd be This is the song for the motherfuckers holdin' us down
