[Intro]

Watch out!


 

[Verse 1]

Look what you want to say to me

You want to lie right to my face

Well all I have to say is

 

You’re just another one of them

Teaching your propaganda again

How ‘bout you have a taste of this

 

[Chorus]

It’s called a dose of your own medicine

I’m getting sick of your ego, sick of your lies

It’s a called a dose of your own medicine

I’m tired of getting blamed for, your own disguise

 

Watch out!

 

[Verse 2]

You bet your money on the fame

You’ve pushed the limit of hypocrisy

Allow me to show you who wins the game

 

Why do you continue to persist

Your fun is over, don’t resist

It’s time for your share of daily bliss

 

[Chorus]

It’s called a dose of your own medicine

I’m getting sick of your ego, sick of your lies

It’s a called a dose of your own medicine

I’m tired of getting blamed for

Your,

Own,

Disguise

 

[Bridge]

Throw another punch

Throw another punch

I dare you

THROW ANOTHER PUNCH

THROW ANOTHER PUNCH

THROW ANOTHER PUNCH

THROW ANOTHER PUNCH



 

When the sun sets

Please know

The battle has only begun

When the moon rests

Please know

The battle has only

BEGUN

(The battle has only BEGUN)

(The battle has only BEGUN)

 

[Outro]

You’re lucky

That I’ve found

My own medicine


The author's comments:

This song was written by me with many mixed emotions about a hard time I was going through during school in past years. I wanted to write something about the conflict with others that I was feeling, so this is what was created. I take inspiration for the style of this song from the band Linkin Park. The last of my lyrics read:

"You're lucky that I've found my own medicine",

and to me, I believe that my medicine in real life was God, who helped me out of my tough situation. The best advice I could give you is, if you're stuggling with something, put your faith in Jesus and He will take care of you.

@LettersInSkin thanks so much for your comment and support! Linkin Park is a great band, and it's cool that we share the same music interest! I am beginning to give my newer songs more story and make them a bit longer, so hopefully that will work out. Thanks for your advice!

I love listening to Linkin Park, and I gotta say you have the feel of their music down. Lyrics are amazing, all I'd say it continue it. Possibly make it longer and give it a more indepth story. I love it.
