i don't mind, i don't mind
D
i can run a razor right up your spine

show us you care, show us you dare
you don't know what happened, not if you weren't there

Verse 2:
going for broke, rock til you choke
it don't matter if you drink or smoke
speak through the beat, get up on your feet
sweating like a hound dog, white as a sheet
don't you be scared, don't you be scared
everybody terrified, it don't seem fair
Pre-Chorus:
what are you waiting for
what do you think you were created for
out of your seat, blind in the heat
do the nasty boogie mama, stomp your feet
Chorus
solo
