I'm a big fan of all that you do
I'm a lifetime subscriber of you
But I needed to point out a few
Misconceptions
The attempt you had thought I had made
To manipulate and to persuade
With words I had carefully weighed
Your perceptions
I was never more honest than when
I rejected again and again
Accusations that I would defend
With exceptions
The volume increased as we strained
To purport that which we had maintained
Despite contrary proof and sustained
Interjections
Without a doubt
You're the chip on the shoulder that I carry around…oh, I wrote it down
Without a doubt
You're the chip on the shoulder that I carry around…oh, I wrote it down
Oh, without a doubt
Oh, oh-oh...
And to that which you swore was the case
And would furthermore serve to displace
And for intent and purpose erase
I resent it
Understand that it hurts to perceive
Your opinion that I'm so naive
That I'd much rather choose to believe
Than dissect it
I have mastered a very few things
And collected a very few rings
But one sport with which I engage kings
Is the written word
It is there I can easily parse
My emotions so they remain sparse
And our bout won't devolve into farce
And at last, I'm “heard”
Without a doubt
You're the chip on the shoulder that I carry around…oh, I wrote it down
Without a doubt
You're the chip on the shoulder that I carry around…oh, I wrote it down
Oh, I put it down
Oh, I worked it out
Oh, without a doubt
