You told me at the start
That you did not like the cut of my jib
Then you pulled out a knife
And you stuck it right under my rib
You said if I caused trouble
You would hand me my ass
Well I must admit I admired
Your balls of brass
But no, no I will never be your slave
No, no I will never be afraid
You tried your very best
To keep me under your thumb
Guess you thought I was an easy mark
Or just kind of dumb
Well I let you think
That you could run me into the ground
And when you went in for the kill
Well I was nowhere to be found
You tried to keep me down
Any old way that you could
You tried to make me look like a fool
You said you did it for the common good
But I did not sit back
And let you run yourself all over me
I stood up against you
And the rest is history
