IntroVerse 1I Was Barking At The Squirrels Outside And No One Thought It WorkedBut My Father Barked At Sabretooths And Scared Them Off The EarthAnd I Was Barking Out At Everything I Liked The Way It SoundsCause My Father Barked At Everything And I Wanna Make Him ProudPre-ChorusWe Can Solve It Like Our Fathers, Open Hands Balled Into FistsBut If Our Fathers Really Solved It, Why's The Problem Still Exist?ChorusThrowing Punches When You're Cornered, We UnderstandBut You're Punching When You Have The Upper HandVerse 2And The Whole World Loves An Underdog, The People Love RevengeBut We Recognize The Line When It's No Longer Self-DefenseAnd The Screaming Way Up Here Might Sound Like Cheering From This FarBut All The Kids Are Watching And Can't Tell The Two ApartPre-ChorusWe Can Solve It Like Our Fathers, Trading Jabs And Landing HooksBut Why Would Anybody Bother When You Swing Before You Look?ChorusThrowing Punches When You're Cornered, We UnderstandBut You're Punching When You Have The Upper HandSoloBridgeAnd If I Seem A Little Uptight, I'll Remind You No One Likes A HypocriteI Tried To Encourage You To Hide But You Never Really Liked To Take A HintAnd I Can't Let You Leave It's Either You Or Me My FriendAnd While We Are Confessing We Both Knew How This Would EndPre-ChorusWe Can Solve It Like The Father, Seek Forgiveness Or InsteadI Can Promise You Will Never Have The Upper Hand AgainOutroThrowing Punches Now You're Cornered, I'd UnderstandBut The Gloves Are Off, You've Lost The Upper Hand
