lyrics

Well, it began when I was just a kid,
My mind was a blank slate,
Impressionable,
Yet taking on the world,
And I made my own fate,
The balance was lost,
When the battle had been won,
And I was put in my place.

Oh how they swarmed me…

I have become something that I'm not
Quite sure I should be proud of,
Eyes on the ground while I'm biting on my tongue,
And I'm calm because I'm high strung,

I hope they will like me,
I speak so politely.

Down the straight and narrow…

Oh how tame can you keep this animal? (x4)
On the straight and narrow…

Why have the years so quickly come to pass,
And I'm left here eating dust with my
Conscience intact and the will to run amok,
But I don't think I can last in this,
State of confusion,
Owned by delusion

On the straight and narrow…

Oh how tame can you keep this animal? (x4)
On the straight and narrow
