I raise the flag, you cut it down
I break the ice, you let me drown
I cage the beast, you let it out
You speak so loud I gotta (shout)

You make the call but I drop the dime
You sing the song but I make it rhyme
You call in sick, I take the heat
You wrote the law, but I walk the beat

You disappeared, I led the search
I couldn't help you burn that church

When you're in charge, I toe the line
If you cross the street, I pay the fine
You build the house, I bring the nails
I'm in control, you're off the (rails)

I'm working hard, you're drunk on wine
I'm sick of life, you're feeling fine
You're throwing money on the fire
You conjure devils on the wire

You taught yourself, I went to school
But you're in charge and I'm a fool
