Always on the defense

Think it′s just my reflex

I don't want a physical fightIt′s not my style

But I'm always on the defense

Gettin' into arguments

I should get away for awhile

Away for awhile

Lookin′ for a reason

To provoke my inner demons

Lately they′ve been fueling my fire

Fueling my fire

But I'm always on the defense

Light some candles, light some incense

I should get away for awhile

Away for awhile

On and off

The struggle, let go

On and off

Don′t push the button, man, just leave it alone

Don't push the button, man, just leave it alone

Having trouble speakin′

Exactly what I'm thinkin′

Lately, that's been fueling my fire

Fueling my fire

Not into gettin' even

Resort to heavy drinkin′

I don′t want a physical fight

It's not my style

Always on the defense

Think it′s just my reflex

I should get away for awhile

Away for awhile

Always on the defense

Soothe it up by confidence

Waitin' for the well to run dry

Well to run dry

On and off

The struggle, let go

On and off

Don′t push the button, man, just leave it alone

Don't push the button, man, just leave it alone

Don′t push the button, man, just leave it alone

Oh, oh always on the defense

Oh, oh always on the defense

Oh, oh always on the defense

Don't push the button, man, just leave it alone

Don't push the button, man, just leave it alone

Don′t push the button, man, just leave it alone

Don′t push the button, man, just leave it alone

Ooh, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
