There’s someone there behind my eyes br Who I have grown to despise br He’s with me wherever I go br When I say yes, he says no br br At school when the bullies shoved br He told me it was weak to blub br When the teachers held me back br He begged for me to just attack br br When growing up he burned in me br Each time I suffered more cruelty br The men who’d keep me in my place br The women who just laughed in my face br br He’d mutter ‘you must make them pay’ br For treating you this awful way’ br But I would keep him buried deep br Although the strain would make me weep br br At work, like school, I was kept down br I was the joke, the office clown br The bullies were still haunting me br But now had power and money br br I’d never fit, I had no chance br I had no fun, no slight romance br A humiliation every day br The man inside would burn away br br Telling me he’d take no more br Of retributions kept in store br And how they’d curse the slaps and jibes br And settle debts with all their lives br br When I get pushed he growls so low br When angry he wants it to show br When I'm polite he snipes and sneers br He’s got much louder in recent years br br There is someone behind my eyes br And now inside my hand br And now he’s picking up that gun br I hope you’ll understandbr br Flying Lemmingbr br
