I've had it up to here
-See ya! Get lost!

-Protest
-We're not going to take it
-We been through it so make a wish and break it in two
-Protest
-I've had it up to here
-See ya! Get lost!
-This is what we think of your ideas
-Protest
-We're not going to take it
-We been through it so make a wish and break it in two
-New beginning
-I've washed my hands and made my bed
-Maybe I'll turn on the television or shave my head
-I'm getting kind of bored with the same old cheese and crackers
-My plan's all inside out
-My reason's backwards
-Some new air in my lungs is what the doctor ordered
-But being exposed makes me feel kind of awkward sort of
-Give me a shot in the arm first
-The clock's ticking
-I'm watching the water boil
-I like to let the plot thicken
-I'm ear to ear with good intentions and vibrations
-I'm on fire
-Sometimes I conspire with Vaughn Squire
-Sometimes we go alone
-Over hills and through the sewers
-Try to keep our edges sharp and learn a few new maneuvers
-The whole world is drying up and everybody's eyes are red
-It's hard to see or even try to guess at what lies ahead
-But you know what?
-The unknown is all part of the plan
-For a runaway soul and a hard loving man
-Protest
-I've had it up to here
-See ya! Get lost!
-This is what we think of your ideas
-Protest
-We're not going to take it
-We been through it so make a wish and break it in two
-Protest
-I've had it up to here
-See ya! Get lost!
-This is what we think of your ideas

-We're not going to take it
-We been through it so make a wish and break it in two
