Beside Myself lyrics

You're pretty sure of yourself
And you like a one-way conversation
You're so proud of your hard work
And we've heard all about your taxes
Will you need a standing ovation?

You skim the morning news
And make your brilliant observations
You've got your sticker on your car
You've got your stripe, got your star
You're tuned in to your station
But have you seen the state of this nation?

I get beside myself
Listening to you dragging us through it
& I can decide myself
When I listen to you, you're dragging us through it

All these young men and women
Should they gather 'round your breakfast table
Look you square in your eyes
Stare you down to your size
Are you ready, willing, or able?

Step out your morning shower
Grab your boots and your brown pajamas
Oh, don't you wanna go for a ride?
Are you still on our side?
We're gonna rout out all these Osamas
We're gonna kill for our daddies and mamas!

I get beside myself
Looking at you dragging us through it
& I can decide for myself
Looking at you, you're dragging us through

Oh, listen to you, you're dragging us through
No, I won't forget you, dragging ass through
