Slippin’ off the edge
Getting lost in the maze
Spinnin as yer trippin at the
In the dust in the haze
They try to push u over
If you’re standing to tall
Been told a thousand times
That u would never fall
But when your wings have been snipped
By the chip off the block
Burned as u were searching
For the key to the lock
Don’t believe a man just cuz
The man can talk
Cuz the dude don’t have a clue
If the dude can’t rock
Rock out
Chorus: Need sumthin new
What the hell u gonna do
U try to fly but yer trapped (2x)
So u rest on the brink
Listen to the music that
Makes u think
U ain’t nuthin’ but a champ (2x)
Slip into a coma
Put a freeze on the clock
Slip into a uniform
To make u feel on top
Itz more than evident
Its more than relevant
To portray a plastic image
Thatz intelligent
U’ve gotta fake more moves thatz
Slick to fit the bill
Feelin’ pretty fly
Cuz yer dressed to kill
Yer easily amused
When u finad a cheap thrill
Yer runnin outta time
But the time stands still
A fly on a wall
Seen it all before
U keep it camouflaged
A social troubadour
Don’t believe the hype
To reach the high to the five
Put the pedal to the metal
Cuz yer still alive
To rock out
Chorus: Need sumthin new
What the hell u gonna do
U try to fly but yer trapped (2x)
So u rest on the brink
Listen to the music that
Makes u think
U ain’t nuthin’ but a champ (2x)
