Think of all the letters we wrote
And I don’t want to be a joke around here
Get my share of respect baby
Don’t tear me down, not falling down
Aim your tower of Babel to the sky
Tear it down your tower to the sky now
I want to be wicked and I want to be standing
Like a bridge over water
That drowns the whole wide world
Tear it down don’t bring me down
See a better day now
Silver and gold no monkey shoes
Doing monkey work for you
I’m your backdoor man, try to understand
Don’t see no problem with standing tall
I’m going to hold my head up high
Make every mistake
Baby, I ain’t afraid to try
Is anyone really winning?
Are we just a waste of time?
So many unanswered questions
And don’t tell me no lies
And I can’t afford the cost
Of another promise broken
I don’t have no problems
With being alone
Ain’t got no golden voice
I can’t sing the midnight blues
I only drink water now
I had to pay my dues
Thrown away so many careless days
I ain’t afraid to lose
My expectations are down and out
But I’m going to see it through
And I could have been lucky
And I could have been smart
But I’ll take my chances
I’ll write it on the bathroom wall
I’m your backdoor man, try to understand
Call me if you want a good time
I’ll spend every dime
Wake up drunk in the morning
I’m going to live my life
And I want to be standing
And I want to be true
Like a bridge over water
That drowns the whole world
