Lyrics

I was born on a standpipe Flopping onto land like The creature from the Flint lagoon Michigan she raised me A wolf and a baby Kill our food and howl at the moon I've been called a body resurrected at the foot of Krakatoa A tape delay echo of a supernova A wave of radiation burning shadows into pavement like a Like an atom Like an atom I used to believe them but that's all over What I really am is dislocating my shoulder Pulling frantically against the straitjacket's hold Over a case of undiagnosed claustrophobia Like an atom Like an atom 'Cause I'm smart But I ain't rich I think it's safe to say you don't know who you're messing with Do you know who you're messing with? I'm gonna kill this city Slit its skyline and bleed its streets There's malice in its shadows and it's taken all my pride from me And I've been called a lazy hypochondriac who can't get a real job An overeducated and potential wasting art snob Trying to learn to farm while stumbling naked in the garden like I'm Like I'm Adam Like I'm Adam I used to believe them but that's all over I used to believe them but that's all over I used to believe them but that's all over I am everything I am Everything I am everything I am everything I am Everything I am everything I am everything I am Everything I am Everything I am everything I'm an atom I'm an atom
