MAKE ME

Intro You keep saying I have to. Make me.

Verse 1 You came in carrying somebody else's rules Like paper turns grown men into tools Said, "Stand here. Sign this. Do what you're told." I looked at the pen Then I looked at you cold You brought a rulebook to a man Who already burned the index You keep talking like obedience Is something I forgot to practice

Pre-Chorus You said, "You don't have a choice." That's a dangerous thing to say To a man who just found one

Chorus Make me Move me if you can Put your whole damn weight Behind the word "command" Make me Don't explain your plan If your power needs my permission It was never power at all You want yes You want easy You want fear to do it cheap I got two words For all three: Make me

Post-Chorus MAKE ME.

Verse 2 I've bent before — that ain't the same as broke I've walked away when staying only fed the show I've swallowed pride when pride cost more than it paid Don't mistake a man choosing peace For a man who can be made You can own the title The keys The floor Buy every yes-man lined along the wall But the second you tell me my spine belongs to you You're gonna find out what it was built for

Pre-Chorus Say it again Slower this time

Chorus Make me Move me if you can Put your whole damn weight Behind the word "command" Make me Don't explain your plan If your power needs my permission It was never power at all You want yes You want easy You want fear to do it cheap I got two words For all three: Make me

Bridge Here's the part men like you never understand: I don't need to win I just need you to fail At moving me You can threaten the job The money The name The door But if you came here to own me — You should've brought more men

Final Chorus Make me Go on Make the word mean something Make me Or shut your mouth That's the whole damn deal Call it pride Call it stupid Call it whatever helps you sleep But don't call it yours Till you can take it from me Make me

Outro That's what I thought.
