Everyone look, oh everyone look, I'll tie him down Hey, hey, what's that sound? Every move were makin', every breath were takin' Every single ride and very single night All my disgrace is written on my face Watch me unwind and watch me lose my mind And watch me lie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie, hey Lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, hey [Chorus] Stand up motherfucker, I will see you now Stand up motherfucker, I'm gonna have you somehow Stand up motherfucker, put your back against the wall Stand up motherfucker, watch me take it all
