Verse 1

Daddy was dumb, said that I'd be something special

Brought me up tough but I was a gentle human

Said that he loved each of my two million freckles

When I grew up, was gonna be a superstar

Pre-Chorus 1

I can't get a job, so I live with my mom

I take her money but not quite enough

I sit in the car and I listen to static

She said I look fat, but I look fantastic

Chorus

Cut back down to my knees

Gotta get back, gotta get free

Cut back down to my knees

Lean back now, lean back and breathe

Cut back down to my knees

Gotta get back, gotta get free

Cut back down to my knees

Lean back now, lean back and breathe

Verse 2

I'm wakin' up lost in boxes outside Tesco

Look like a bum sippin' codeine Coca-Cola

Thought that I was northern Camden's own Flash Gordon

Sonic ray gun, gonna be a superstar

Pre-Chorus 2

I can't get a job, so I live with my mom

I take her money but not quite enough

I make my own fun in Grandmama's basement

Said I look mad, she said I look wasted

Chorus

Cut back down to my knees

Gotta get back, gotta get free

Cut back down to my knees

Lean back now, lean back and breathe

Cut back down to my knees

Gotta get back, gotta get free

Cut back down to my knees

Lean back now, lean back and breathe

Instrumental Break
Chorus

Cut back down to my knees

Gotta get back, gotta get free

Cut back down to my knees

Lean back now, lean back and breathe

Cut back down to my knees

Gotta get back, gotta get free

Cut back down to my knees

Lean back now, lean back and breathe

Cut back down to my knees

Gotta get back, gotta get free

Cut back down to my knees

Lean back now, lean back and breathe
