Roll into your town
and I'm walkin around.
Got some extra time,
think I'll throw some money down.
And you follow me around.
You're askin for the time,
you're askin what I found,
think I'm gonna rob you blind.
Maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
that I drew when I was bored,
waitin tables in New York,
well a heart and 2 flowers intertwined with a vine,
I can see your point,
I can see your point.

But up here,
I am who I am.
And if you don't like it,
then fuck you man.
I'm not a thief and a whore,
please don't follow me around next time
I'm shoppin in your store.
Yeah.
And up here,
I'm makin you aware
that if you don't like me,
well I don't care.
I'll be exactly who I am
and if you got a problem with me,
well that's your problem, man.
Yeah.

After I've paid,
count the money that you made,
then you go to the show,
like to be entertained.
And I get up on the stage,
trained monkey in a cage,
it's just another day,
just another day.
And I can see you from my place on the stage,
third row, center aisle, hot blonde with you, all smiles.
And you got another woman,
but that's in another town,
you can't wait till this is over,
gonna lay that honey down.

And up here,
I am who I am.
And if you don't like it,
then fuck you man.
I'm not a thief and a whore,
please don't follow me around next time
I'm shoppin in your store.
Yeah.
And up here,
I'm makin you aware
that if you don't like me,
well I don't care.
I'll be exactly who I am
and if you got a problem with me,
well that's your problem, man.
Yeah.

And your good values taught you have to behave.
Who to treat kindly and who to enslave.
And like a good man,
you still fall to the floor
when a great big rack
and a ripe round ass walk through the door.
Yeah.

But up here,
I am who I am.
And if you don't like it,
then fuck you man.
I'm not a thief and a whore,
please don't follow me around next time
I'm shoppin in your store.
Yeah.
And up here,
I'm makin you aware
that if you don't like me,
well I don't care.
I'll be exactly who I am
and if you got a problem with me,
well that's your problem, man.
Yeah.

    It's obviously about the whole performing to people - "And I can see you from my place on the stage," i mean not everyone's gonna like you are they?!
