Lyrics

I was barking at the squirrels outside
And no one thought it worked
But my father barked at sabretooths
And scared them off the earth
And I was barking out at everything
I liked the way it sounds
Cause my father barked at everything and I
Wanna make him proud
We can solve it like our fathers
Open hands balled into fists
But if our fathers really solved it
Why's the problem still exist?
Throwing punches when you're cornered
We understand
But you're punching when you have
The upper hand
And the whole world loves an underdog
The people love revenge
But we recognize the line
When it's no longer self-defense
And the screaming way up here
Might sound like cheering from this far
But all the kids are watching and
Can't tell the two apart
We can solve it like our fathers
Trading jabs and landing hooks
But why would anybody bother
When you swing before you look?
Throwing punches when you're cornered
We understand
But you're punching when you have
The upper hand
And if I seem a little uptight
I'll remind you no one likes a hypocrite
I tried to encourage you to hide
But you never really liked to take a hint
And I can't let you leave it's either
You or me my friend
And while we are confessing
We both knew how this would end
We can solve it like The Father
Seek forgiveness or instead
I can promise you will never have
The upper hand again
Throwing punches now you're cornered
I'd understand
But the gloves are off
You've lost the upper hand
