Oh man, oh man,
You sure know how to punch
A hole in my hope

Though it's all I've got
All these years I've wanted you to say
That though I failed you, we would be ok

So I Gave you power
To put my hand behind my back
Gave you power

You spoke and I remain silent
Gave you power
To say what I can, or I can't


But I am taking it back
But I am taking it back

Hook
So why don't you Read me my rights
I wont put up a fight

Tell me what crime I did this time

When It's all said and done

I won't take back my wrongs
Ill leave every page in my life
And read my rights, read my rights


Oh man, oh man
Where'd you learn to kick?

A man down when he's already deep in
I know my mistakes
Yes, I know them well

But you can't send me to heaven, or hell

But I gave you power

To free me with just one word
Gave you power
To judge me, and I'll takee the verdict

Gave you power
to lock me behind all my wrongs


but I'm taking
I'm taking it back
