Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Doing time in my mind for another petty crime, it's a sign
Don't think I'll ever fall in love to the system, I'll just diss them
I'm on a mission, trying to get a bit of recognition
Lack of nutrition, I feel half dead
Got a lot of ambition, but I never go to bed
And I'm bored of comparisons, jumping the gun
People need to learn to have just a bit of fun
Fuck all that said I would't make it at school
Going 'round, saying Rat Boy's a fool
No, I've never been cool, never played by the rules
And I spend my time hanging out in the halls
Contemplation, in a messy situation
In the knackered nation with no imagination
Feeling on my own, never been a clone
Not much to do when all my mates are stoned
[Verse 2]
They caught up in my mind
Oh, but I'm over it
If you're into it, then go with it
They caught up in my mind
Oh, but it's over
[Verse 3]
They caught up in my mind
Oh, but I'm over it
If you're into it, then go with it
They caught up in my mind
Oh, but it's over
[Verse 4]
They say looking is a curse
But curiosity and not knowing makes it worse
Reverse my mind, blind, when up everyday to the center
And I look at myself and know I'm just a beginner
Do you ever feel like your mind's playing tricks on you?
In a situation you don't know what you're gonna do
Keep struggling on and I know it's in my head
It's been fed once, but the opposite is just dread
[Verse 5]
(Do you see them coming for us now?)
[Verse 6]
They caught up in my mind
Oh, but I'm over it
If you're into it, then go with it
They caught up in my mind
Oh, but it's over
[Verse 7]
(C'mon down, c'mon down, c'mon down)
(C'mon down)
[Verse 8]
And all the people wait in line to see the next crucified
The love, the live, the pain, the shame
Our lives are owned by fame in this game
[Verse 9]
They caught up in my mind
Oh, but I'm over it
If you're into it, then go with it
They caught up in my mind
Oh, but it's over
[Verse 10]
They caught up in my mind
Oh, but I'm over it
If you're into it, then go with it
They caught up in my mind
Oh, but it's over
