[Verse 1]
I was born upside down
I felt my grandma put my feet on the ground
They put a spoon in my mouth
And everyone was shocked to hear me shout
Well I knew I couldn't take
All the dog food that they make
I'd just as soon as put myself on a stake and burn

[Chorus]
I saw it comin' around
I saw it comin' around, yeah
I saw it comin' around
So I just, yeah
Shook my head and walked away

[Verse 2]
I grew up in a town
Where everybody tried to push me around
The girls were alright but the guys were tough
They're always buggin' me with macho stuff
Well, I ain't no stupid fighter
I go for flower power
I've been running every race just to save my face, yeah

[Chorus]
I saw it comin' around
I saw it comin' around, yeah
I saw it comin' around
So I just, yeah
Shook my head and walked away
[Bridge]
Well, they try to see if you care
It's just a matter of not begging for more
You know it's really suicidal to just give in
With people, you can never really be sure

[Verse 3]
O-hoh, when it gets down to this, they'll eat you up
When the words get in your head, they'll stitch you up
It's a saving grace to have enough
When you find yourself in a compromising spot
You should know, you shouldn't take
All that dog food that they make
You'd just as soon as put yourself on a stake and burn

[Chorus]
You'll see it comin' around
You'll see it comin', comin' around
When you, oh, when you see it coming around
You just, yeah
Shake yer head and walk away!

[Outro]
Yeah! (Shake yer head and walk away)
Alright!
Shake, shake, shake
(Shake yer head)
Shake, shake, shake
(Shake yer head)
Yes, the one you think with
Ohh c'mon, c'mon
