Why did ya, why did ya,

Think it was fine?

To keep me down in the dumps,

All this time (oh why)

Ya never looked behind the shoulder,

For a boot of karma to kick your rear,

Thinkin' you can treat everyone around ya like that,

Never thought it would end in fear?

Was I scared of an idiot? (yeah probably)

Does that make me an idiot? (yeah probably)

But I'm past all the blaming and shame,

Just got out of your cheap plastic chains.

Yeah, tons and tons of effort,

Yeah, just to, hold, me, down,

(Well look at you now!)

Guess those cuffs came back around,

Shootin' out of the ground,

Like a ghost, not a sound,

Yeah, you never knew the danger,

Was too late when you turned around (and)

How are ya with your authority,

Swirlin' down that drain,

I feel I'm like the coffee cup,

And baby you're the stain,

The circus tent's gone up in flames,

Just like my cheap plastic chains

Was I scared of an idiot? (yeah probably)

Does that make me an idiot? (yeah probably)

But I'm past all the blaming and shame,

Just got out of your cheap plastic chains.

Yeah, tons and tons of effort,

Yeah, just to, hold, me, down,

(Well look at you now!)

Guess those cuffs came back around,

I'll move slowly so you'll see me (won't matter)

Give it to ya fast to see your ego shatter,

Gettin back up like a member of the undead,

Bet cha wish you put me in steel instead,

Take my hand and I'll crush it,

I'll feel bad if I rush it,

This'll be your judgement day,

As I cut loose from my plastic, chains

Was I scared of an idiot? (yeah probably)

Does that make me an idiot? (yeah probably)

But I'm past all the blaming and shame,

Just got out of your cheap plastic chains.

Yeah, tons and tons of effort,

Yeah, just to, hold, me, down,

(Well look at you now!)

Guess those cuffs came back around,

Yeah, tons and tons of effort,

Yeah, just to, hold, me, down,

(Well look at you now!)

Guess those cuffs came back around,
