Kicking and Screaming Lyrics

When it all falls down, I'd rather be

Anywhere but here

When it all falls down, I'd rather be

Anywhere but here

As you learn to die like a man

With your penance over

Now, you wanna talk about this now

You wanna see me in the crowd tonight

My plans tonight

Now, you wanna talk about this now

You wanna see me in the crowd tonight

My hands are tied

When it all falls down, I'd rather be

Anywhere but here

And my days feel like weeks now again

Any luck and I'm way down, now

All the mercy promised for me

Like a burning star

You drive me crazy with the hazy recollection of

You drive me crazy with the hazy recollection of

Stuck in a rut

While I fixate on the features of your cut, spilling blood

While I scream about it, scream about you

Now, you wanna talk about this now

You wanna see me in the crowd tonight

My plans tonight

Now, you wanna talk about this now

You wanna see me in the crowd tonight

My hands are tied behind my

Now, you wanna do this right now

You wanna see me in my rags tonight

Straitjacket tight

Now, you wanna talk about this now

You wanna see me in the crowd tonight

Straitjacket tight

My throat is feeling sore

Give what I can't afford for you

Don't walk on out the door

There's so much here at home for you

For you

Now, you wanna talk about this now

You wanna see me in the crowd tonight

My plans tonight

Now, you wanna talk about this now

You wanna see me in the crowd tonight

My hands are tied behind my

Now, you wanna do this right now

You wanna see me in my rags tonight

Straitjacket tight

Now, you wanna talk about this now

You wanna see me in the crowd tonight

Straitjacket tight

Well, are you satisfied?

You robbed me of my eyes

I know you're coming over now

Your straitjacket will never fit

Tethered in this

The padded walls around you closing in

Deeper into an abyss (as you learn to die like the man that you are)

Your straitjacket will never fit

Tethered in this (does my name still follow you there, in the dark)

The padded walls around you closing in (I'm way down)
