"You bastards are gonna have to take back that shit"
"You assholes are gonna see soon that I'm not playing"
"And start asking me the names that I'm not saying
But I'm trying to be bigger than the bickering
Bigger than the petty name calling
Under-the-breath talking"
LOL... I'm not sure what Mike Shinoda defines as 'petty name calling'... but I know that he is definitely participating in it. The guy has talent at writing lyrics, but most of the time I find that he contradicts himself in them and he tends to just stray off his point a little bit in order to come up with a clever rhyme that may not make as much sense.
And there is nothing really creative about the two puns he uses with the 'struggling doctor' and 'high school dropout', they are both really old and overused.
I don't have a problem with Mike at all, I actually like this song, but the lyrics aren't THAT great. And I also don't like how he has to throw in random cursing just for the sake of it... that's just a sign of being immature.
