Sticking It to Myself - Jonathan Coulton

I’m right here

And I heard everything you said

Those things

To try to get inside my head

Is full

Now there’s no room in here

For you

You can’t teach me the lesson

Now I know

I don’t need you to tell me

How it’s done cause I know how it’s done

See all the accolades, sitting up on my shelf

I’m the man now, and I’m sticking it to myself

Sticking it to myself

Sticking it to my-

Self-control

That’s not the only thing I lack

A plan

Just my own gun against my

Back down now and let this hostage

Go away

I’m trying to figure something

Makes me feel

Like I’d do anything it takes to be

A fucking winner now

You don’t look interested in what I just said

If you’re not listening then don’t nod your head

I thought so

That’s what I thought that

Someday soon

This job is gonna kill me

Dead inside

Unless I kill it first instead

And when they come for me I’m gone

There’s just the accolades, sitting up on my shelf

I’m the man now, and I’m sticking it to myself

Sticking it to myself

Sticking it to myself
