Ubermensch

They say I'm a man with thirst for blood
In the eyes of the law I'm a stand-up citizen
And I can see that this will be trouble
And you don't want me back around here again

I've been down on my luck
Could only roll snake eyes
So I will rise above you, baby
Oh yes, I will rise

They say I'm a man that drinks too much
But in the grand scheme of things that's the best of me
You take me for everything that I've got
And you keep coming back to attack the rest of me

I've been down on my luck
I could only roll snake eyes
So I will rise above you, baby
Like the lord of the flies

I should've shortened the rope
Told them to throw away the key
And I will rise above you, baby
Oh yes, I will rise
Oh, I will rise

They say I'm a man that lost my way
But I never had a direction or a sign
And I could've just laid down and died
But I keep on going with my whiskey, beer and wine

I've been down on my luck
I could only roll snake eyes
So I will rise above you, baby
Like the lord of the flies

I should've shortened the rope
Told them to throw away the key
So I will rise above you, baby
Oh yes, I will rise

Hard road, wouldn't want it any other way
All told, I don't wanna be a wage slave
Can't you see I'm doing the best that I can?
Be strong and carry yourself like a man

Hard road, wouldn't want it any other way
All told, I don't wanna be a wage slave
Can't you see I'm doing the best that I can?
Be strong and carry yourself like a man

Carry yourself like a man
Carry yourself like a man
Carry yourself like a man
I'm doing the best that I can

Hard road, wouldn't want it any other way
All told, I don't wanna be a wage slave
Can't you see I'm doing the best that I can?
Be strong and carry yourself like a man

Carry yourself like a man
Carry yourself like a man
Carry yourself like a man
I'm doing the best that I can
