Vilified

Yeah

I thought you wanted to be my friend

I thought you wanted to be my...

When I see your face for real, I stop and try to clear my throat

When I try to talk again, I can't, and in a flash you're gone

When I wish upon a star, I get a good, good view

I'm outside in your backyard, watching everything you do

I'm just a man, that's all I am

But I can take it just like any other can

'Cause I've been down with the criminal minded

Oop, rewind it, I gotta go back now

When I was known as the TV kid

Sometimes I hid, and I looked out my back porch

Never saw nothing, not worth nothin' up in the old days

It took me a little while to realize the error of my old ways

Clean and narrow is the sparrow that always flies straight

I'm earning my wings and feathers, but I don't have it all together yet

And I can't see through the shame, that's what I wanna do

Can't get through the pain, that's why I'm (?) you

And I can take it just like any other can...

Yeah

I thought you wanted to be my friend

I thought you wanted to be my...

When I see your face for real, I stop and try to clear my throat

When I try to talk again, I can't, and in a flash you're gone

When I wish upon a star, I get a good, good view

I'm outside in your backyard, watching everything you do

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm vilified, I'm vilified

I'm just a man, that's all I am

But I can take it just like any other can

I learned to hate the public, I love it

No one talks to me, like I'm above it, so shove it

Because I was the bandit, El Bandito, kinda the fly one

I tried to find a job before this, but I couldn't find one

So I took it upon myself to think and be a changed man

Reaping what I sew and treating my cancer with a firm hand

Try walking over me now, see if I don't snatch you and catch you up

In the web that has more bridges than that book you read

And I can't see through the shame, that's what I wanna do

Can't get through the pain, that's why I'm (?) you

But I can take it just like any other can...

I can see her, punk better grow up

Twisting my mind, you better not show up

In the bushes, tomorrow night

The button she pushes, 'cause that shit ain't right

And I can see her, punk better grow up

Twisting my mind, you better not show up

In the bushes, tomorrow night

The button she pushes, 'cause that shit ain't right

And when I see your face for real, I stop and try to clear my throat

When I try to talk again, I can't, and in a flash you're gone

When I wish upon a star, I get a good, good view

I'm outside in your backyard, watching everything you do

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm vilified, I'm vilified
