For those that used to sit in the back of the classroom
And never say shit when the teacher would ask a question
And knew the answer but they didn't want
To draw attention to themselves
'Cause they were fucked up on these insecurities and shit
It's time to fuck 'em off
And I'm not going to be quiet any more
I'm going to raise my voice and make some noise
I'm not going to be a pawn any more
I'm just going to make some noise
My teachers never knew me, I was an invisible man
Now I've got one groupie and about three fans
And I found that shell and sabotaged my plans
Buried my nose and dug with my hands
Dirt loads of corroded scams that tanned my conscience
And burnt my roster, corkboard and helicopter models
I was a backdrop that had lots of morals
But cash crops had to stop off at the Bottle O
I was the keep low, stay quiet, quite soft, not into violence
But come crunch time
I'll throw a punch with a tight fist that might miss
But still try to commit to the untimely swing
They could sing I could whinge, rinse off the outer layer
I was a dried up tell me later
With a favor to pay and it took a pissed off attitude to play
Though I stay calm, I no longer see the harm and I slay farms
That breed the hold me back and you can take a hold of that
And I'm not going to be quiet any more
I'm going to raise my voice and make some noise
I'm not going to be a pawn any more
I'm just going to make some noise
And I'm not going to be quiet any more
I'm going to raise my voice and make some noise
I'm not going to be a pawn any more
I'm just going to make some noise
And If I wasn't such a doormat, I'd probably be a mallrat
Chewin' tobacco and sportin' a straw hat, tryin' to format
The floor scraps that sat spread on the bed of my mind
Binded with puzzle pieces and subtle speeches
Made by the men in grey suits with blurred faces
And a debut sticker sayin' 'Stay True' on their forheads
Bigger picture force fed
Through the gaps in my teeth, one more star to reach
Now carve this beef and chew the gristle
And if you blow the whistle
The darkness will feast on ya simple
Little plan to please the middle man
In a pickle jam, rolling around in a substance
Tryin' to find the right way to say, fuck this
Nah, better yet get ahead of the buskers
Who make noise with more comfort
Sucked into a closed mouth
An open house sold with no inspection
Give me a minutes digestion, never a question raised
But now I'm a make some noise
With the words I say and you can play
With fuckin' turds I lay
And I'm not going to be quiet any more
I'm going to raise my voice and make some noise
I'm not going to be a pawn any more
I'm just going to make some noise
And I'm not going to be quiet any more
I'm going to raise my voice and make some noise
I'm not going to be a pawn any more
I'm just going to make some noise
And I'm not going to be quiet any more
I'm going to raise my voice and make some noise
I'm not going to be a pawn any more
I'm just going to make some noise
