We don't need to be clever to learn your lies
We only have to listen, open up our eyes
Try to be honest, get kicked in the face
If you cheat another rat in the race

I'm an upstart, hey
What you gonna do
I'm an upstart, listen
I'm talking to you

I'm an upstart, hey
What you gonna do
I'm an upstart, listen
I'm talking to you

Seek out an identity
You alienate society
Face the facts, why not admit it
How can you be outrageous when your mother won't allow it?

I'm an upstart, hey
What you gonna do
I'm an upstart, listen
I'm talking to you

I'm an upstart, hey
What you gonna do
I'm an upstart, listen
I'm talking to you

I'm an upstart, hey
What you gonna do
I'm an upstart, listen
I'm talking to you

I'm an upstart, hey
What you gonna do
I'm an upstart, listen
I'm talking to you

We don't need to be clever to learn your lies
We only have to listen, open up our eyes
Try to be honest, get kicked in the face
If you cheat another rat in the race

I'm an upstart, hey
What you gonna do
I'm an upstart, listen
I'm talking to you

I'm an upstart, hey
What you gonna do
I'm an upstart, listen
I'm talking to you

I'm an upstart, hey
What you gonna do
I'm an upstart, listen
I'm talking to you

I'm an upstart, hey
What you gonna do
I'm an upstart, listen
I'm talking to you
