lyrics

You could put diamonds in that trap, but this rat don't want your cheese.
You could drive a Cadillac, but I'd rather walk on my own two feet.
Everybody hates me and I don't know why.
I either talk too much, or I'm too damn shy.
I wish someone would tell me just who I am.

You could put poison on your bait and reel me in.
You did it before, I don't see why you wouldn't try it again.
Everybody hates me and for what - I'm not sure.
The past few years have gone by in a blur.
I wish someone would tell me just who I've hurt.

You could hang me high or you could hang me low.
You could send me outside winter time in the snow without no coat.
'Cuz some people want ya dead and some want ya ta' freeze.
Your mind is a prison and you're holding the key.
I wish someone would tell me who I'm s'posed to please.

You could put diamonds in that trap, but this rat don't want your cheese.
You could drive a Cadillac, but I'd rather walk on my own two feet.
Everybody hates me and I don't know why.
I either talk too much, or I'm too damn shy.
I wish someone would tell me just who I am.
