Phoenix

Why don't you kick me while I'm down here?
Since you've got me on the ground
Go ahead, I'll wait, get your friends
It's not complete unless there's a crowd around

Push me further into the dirt
Let me feel it in my face
I can hear you and your buddies laughing
About how you put that smart chick in her place

I could get all upset from this
And even shed some tears
But I've got bigger things to worry about
Than mocking by lessers who think their my "peers"

So laugh all you want boys
Yuk it up at my expense
The table's will eventually turn
And I won't be coming to your defense

Cause, you see, I'm like a phoenix
And I'm always rising new out of the ash
So no matter how many times you burn me
I come back better, without a scratch

So enjoy your laughter now
Because I feel the flames approach
It's time for me to fly to something better
And you to go back to being a cockroach
