Man / Thing

I was born on a standpipe
 Flopping onto land like
 The creature from the Flint lagoon
 Michigan she raised me
 A wolf and a baby
 Kill our food and howl at the moon
 I've been called a body resurrected at the foot of Krakatoa
 A tape delay echo of a supernova
 A wave of radiation burning shadows into pavement like a
 Like an atom
 Like an atom
 I used to believe them but that's all over
 What I really am is dislocating my shoulder
 Pulling frantically against the straitjacket's hold
 Over a case of undiagnosed claustrophobia
 Like an atom
 Like an atom
 'Cause I'm smart
 But I ain't rich
 I think it's safe to say you don't know who you're messing with
 Do you know who you're messing with?
 I'm gonna kill this city
 Slit its skyline and bleed its streets
 There's malice in its shadows and it's taken all my pride from me
 And I've been called a lazy hypochondriac who can't get a real job
 An overeducated and potential wasting art snob
 Trying to learn to farm while stumbling naked in the garden like I'm
 Like I'm Adam
 Like I'm Adam
 I used to believe them but that's all over
 I used to believe them but that's all over
 I used to believe them but that's all over
 I am everything I am
 Everything I am everything
 I am everything I am
 Everything I am everything
 I am everything I am
 Everything I am
 Everything
 I am everything
 I'm an atom
 I'm an atom
