I BUILT MY BODY FROM GROUND UP

I DEVELOPED MY MIND AND WOUND UP

NEVER WANTING TO BE PIGEONHOLED IN ANYTHING

NOW I'M ONLY JUST A LITTLE GOOD AT EVERYTHING

PUT THIS WHOLE THING TOGETHER MYSELF

BRICK BY BRICK BY SHELF

THEY ALL KNOW HOW WELL DESIGNED IT IS HOW WELL RENOWNED

MEN IN BLACK ARE NEVER EVER GONNA TEAR IT DOWN

YOU CAME ON THE SCENE DRIPPING WITH ELECTRICITY

TO MATCH MINE

LIKE A LOCK AND KEY, SPRING AND TOOTH FIT SEAMLESSLY

IT'LL NEVER STICK

HOW DID WE GET SO BRAVE, DOING IT HOW WE WANT

WE DON'T BACK AWAY

DON'T EVER TAKE THE KNEE, DOIN' IT HOW WE WANT

DON'T EVER BACK AWAY

SOMEBODY LEFT THE DISH UNCHECKED

SUCH A WISE MOVE IN RETROSPECT

YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH BACTERIA IS GROWING HERE

THEY ALL SUPPORT EACH OTHER SO THEY HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR

WE DON'T HAVE MUCH OF A CHANCE IN THIS GAME IN THIS POINTLESS DANCE

BUT WE'LL KEEP FIGHTING TIL WE DISINFECT THE PREMISES

THANK THE MAN WHO ASKED US

HOW DID WE GET SO BRAVE, DOING IT HOW WE WANT

WE DON'T BACK AWAY

DON'T EVER TAKE THE KNEE, DOIN' IT HOW WE WANT

DON'T EVER BACK AWAY

I'M GONNA TELL YA HOW I SEE IT

RIGHT FROM THE START

NO USE HIDING A THING COS IT'LL ALL FALL APART

BACK FROM THE DEAD SO MANY TIMES

AND STRONG IS MY HEART

TEST MY METAL, YOU KNOW I'M A GENTLEMAN

STATE OF THE ART

HOW DID WE GET SO BRAVE, DOING IT HOW WE WANT

WE DON'T BACK AWAY

DON'T EVER TAKE THE KNEE, DOIN' IT HOW WE WANT

DON'T EVER BACK AWAY
