  • Another dawn, another day, another dollar to be made
    I got a pocket in my soul,
    Where a little rock a little roll assimilate
    And I don't care what you think you know
    'Bout who I am and how it goes
    I made it easy to be me so yeah,
    It's easy to be me
    And it's why I say

    I know you can't stand me
    'Cause I make you so angry
    More and more each day hey hey hey
    The way you don't love me
    Kind of makes you look ugly
    And the words you say hey hey hey
    Come up and see me, I kind of like the abuse hey hey hey
    There's no room in my bed but while you're here
    Just bow your head and you can shine my shoes
    Shine my shoes

    Get outta my lane boy, you're not in my league
    Some are born to thrive and some to underachieve
    Here's something that'll make you sick
    I'm as happy as a pig in sh-
    I've been amused, I've been about, I've been amazed, I've been betrayed
    That's why I say

    I know you can't stand me
    'Cause I make you so angry
    More and more each day hey hey hey
    The way you don't love me kind of makes you look ugly
    And the words you say hey hey hey
    Come up and see me, oh oh oh,
    If you can take the abuse hey hey hey
    There's no room in my bed but while you're here
    Just lend a hand and you can shine my shoes
    Shine my shoes
    Kneel down boy

    I know you can't stand me
    I make you so angry more and more each day hey hey hey
    The way you don't love me kind of makes you look ugly
    Every words you say hey hey hey
    Come up and see me, oh oh oh,
    I kinda like the abuse hey hey hey
    There's no room in my bed but while you're here
    Then bow your head and you can shine my shoes
    Shine my shoes
    Shine my shoes
