Swingin'
People try, but they never could understand me
They turn a blind eye, to the things that I wanna do
Be it my lover, my friends, or my own family
Tongue-tied, I'm left screaming at the moon
And I could try, but I don't wanna sound too crazy
They're sellin' white lies to my face, think I'm just another fool
Oh, and my mother says that I shouldn't ever let it get to me
But, how can I?
When all I wanna be is understood
Break before I bend, I can't comprehend
This life has been pretty cruel
But then again, what do I know?
I'm just a...
Scrawny motherfucker with a flame tattoo
Swingin' through life till I've made it through
I'm just a scrawny motherfucker with a flame tattoo
I'm a simple guy, but lately I've been acting too hazy
Don't ask why, 'cause I'm kinda shy, and
Talkin' just ain't for me
And daddy says, "Get a degree, go to job, you lazy (Piece of shit)"
But he don't get it, I just wanna rock n' roll like the Stones used to do
"Who's gonna pay your bills?"
"And be with you still?"
"Stop acting like you're so cool"
I said, "I refuse
Now let me sing my blues, I'm just a...
Scrawny motherfucker with a flame tattoo
Swingin' through life till I've made it through
I'm just a scrawny motherfucker with a lame tattoo
Swingin' through life till I've paid my dues
I'm just a scrawny motherfucker with a flame tattoo
And I'll be swingin' through life till I'm eighty-two
I'm just a scrawny motherfucker with a flame tattoo
They turn a blind eye, to the things that I wanna do
Be it my lover, my friends, or my own family
Tongue-tied, I'm left screaming at the moon
And I could try, but I don't wanna sound too crazy
They're sellin' white lies to my face, think I'm just another fool
Oh, and my mother says that I shouldn't ever let it get to me
But, how can I?
When all I wanna be is understood
Break before I bend, I can't comprehend
This life has been pretty cruel
But then again, what do I know?
I'm just a...
Scrawny motherfucker with a flame tattoo
Swingin' through life till I've made it through
I'm just a scrawny motherfucker with a flame tattoo
I'm a simple guy, but lately I've been acting too hazy
Don't ask why, 'cause I'm kinda shy, and
Talkin' just ain't for me
And daddy says, "Get a degree, go to job, you lazy (Piece of shit)"
But he don't get it, I just wanna rock n' roll like the Stones used to do

Scrawny motherfucker with a flame tattoo
Swingin' through life till I've made it through
I'm just a scrawny motherfucker with a lame tattoo
Swingin' through life till I've paid my dues
I'm just a scrawny motherfucker with a flame tattoo
And I'll be swingin' through life till I'm eighty-two
I'm just a scrawny motherfucker with a flame tattoo
