Well I came here out of nowhere
A bolt of lightning in the dark
I stuck around for awhile, I did it on a lark
And when I felt I'd seen enough
I put in my two cents
These are the memoirs of a man
Not sitting on the fence
Well I got out on the TV, I got on the radio
I beat my chest like an angry ape
Said, I won't go with the flow
I spoke out loud and clearly
Spoke in a way you could understand
These are the memoirs of a visible man
Well I said things controversial about all the minorities
About how they were taking over
Didn't care who disagrees
Some people called me obnoxious
But I knew I was in the right
These are the memoirs of a man
Who's ready to fight
I kicked up quite a ruckus, I caused quite a storm
People sent me death threats
My image wasn't fuzzy and warm
I turned up the heat, had a master plan
These are the memoirs of a visible man
You can say that you don't like me
You can say all you can say
But I am sticking to my guns, I won't go away
And if you do bump me off
Someone like me is standing nearby
These are the memoirs of a man who just won't die
Well I came out of nowhere but I have left my mark
Some would rather call it a stain
Let them all be eaten by a shark
I raised my voice, shouted out across the land
These are the memoirs of a visible man
