lyrics

My Defense

If at first you don't succeed
Just give up, get on your knees
'Cause for what you did to me you deserve to bleed

Man I'm just too small to fight
I count the fractures every night
And I stand right here and bite my silent tongue

This is my defense
This is my defense
I wish I had an army
I wish I had more friends

Your house is a bigger house
And in your bank a big account
You have all the finest things and that's fine by me

But now you've got a bigger mouth
You chew your friends and spit them out
And that's not fine, it never was, never will be

This is my defense
This is my defense
I wish I had an army
I wish I had more friends

I will throw a party in your honor and invite your friends
Return the favor that you lent
And I'll spike the punch with poison

This is my defense
This is my defense
I wish I had an army
I wish I had more friends
I'm happy and content to happy
