Poets would turn in their graves
No one could take their place
I'd pay to see the look on their face if they woke up and saw the world today
I think I'm a parasite when I use my mouth I use my mind
It's hard to keep up with the time cause the world's gone to hell and I've always wondered why
People, they hurt me when they try to help
They think they know me better than I know myself
Why cant everyone just leave me alone
I think I'll do much better on my own
Don't tread on me
It's time to wake up to reality
Don't tread on my ground
I'm not the only one who doesn't want to be around
Don't tread in my space
I'm gonna have to put you in your place
Don't tread on me
It's time to wake up, it's time to wake up!
Why is the world so cold
These feelings are getting old
Our skin is made of gold, but our hearts are made of coal
I wanna live in paradise, but it could never happen while we're living in this life
Cause everyone is full of lies and everybody's always lookin for a fight
People they hurt me when they try to help
They think they know me better than I know myself
Why cant everyone just leave me alone
I think I'll do much better on my own
Don't tread on me
It's time to wake to reality
Don't tread on my ground
I'm not the only one who doesn't want to be around
Don't tread in my space
I'm gonna have to put you in your place
Don't tread on me
It's time to wake up, it's time to wake up!
One day we'll look back and we'll see what we've done
And we'll return brighter than the rising sun
We'll never look back at what we've become
I think that it's time that we finally move on (On!)
Don't tread on me,yeah, woah
Don't tread on my ground, no no no
Don't tread in my space
Don't tread on me
