verse 1 
 E 
I'm back, where are we goin'? 
  
Seem to get tired of the mornin' dawn 
 E 
With a basin on my head 
   
I'm missin' all that I used to know, then 
 E 
I get the kids to go, and I get 

Up on with certain dread 
 E 
And when I see the kissing down below 
   
Easy life, I get right

I get dropped from where I belong 
    
I take my pills and I get in the mood and I 
   E 
Take five to get it to load in 
   
Even in the place 
   E 
And I get my jeans on right 

And sit in the rows and 
   E 
Inside I live in a cage and I 
  
Peek out and summon the code and I 
   E 
Enter the lake to face what I'm cagin'
