list of demands reparations

The Kills

I want my money back
I m down here drowning in your fat
You got me on my knees
Praying for everything you lack
I ain t afraid of you
I m just a victim of your fears
You cower in your tower
Praying that I ll disappear
I got another plan
One that requires me to stand
On the stage or in the street
Don t need no microphone or beat
And when you hear this song
If you ain t dead sing along
Bang and strum to these here drums
Till you get where you belong

I got a list of demands
Written on the palm of my hands
I ball my fist, you re gonna
Know where I stand
I m living hand to mouth
You wanna be somebody? See somebody?
Try and free somebody?

I got a list of demands
Written on the palm of my hands
I ball my fist, you re gonna
Know where I stand
I m living hand to mouth
Hand to mouth

I wrote a song for you today
While I was sitting in my room
I jumped up on my bed today
And I played it on a broom
I didn t think that it would be a song
That you would hear
But when I played it in my head
I made you reappear
I wrote a video for it
And I acted out each part
And then I took your picture out
And taped it to my heart
I ve taped you to my heart, dear
I ve taped you to my
Heart and if you pull away from me
You ll tear my life apart

I got a list of demands
Written on the palm of my hands
I ball my fist, you re gonna
Know where I stand
I m living hand to mouth
You wanna be somebody? See somebody?
Try and free somebody?

I got a list of demands
Written on the palm of my hands
I ball my fist, you re gonna
Know where I stand
I m living hand to mouth

Call the police
I m strapped to the teeth
And liable to disregard
Your every belief
Call on the law
I m fixin to draw
A line between what is and seems
And call up a brawl

Call em right now
Cause I m about to go pow
I m standing on the threshold
Of the ups and the downs
Call up a truce
Cause I m about to bust loose
Protect ya neck cause son
I m breaking out of my noose

I got a list of demands
Written on the palm of my hands
I ball my fist, you re gonna
Know where I stand
I m living hand to mouth
You wanna be somebody? See somebody?
Try and free somebody?
