Ian Hunter, Todd Rundgren - Don't Tread On Me lyrics

Hang by for heavy burden when you
Can't get a word in
Nobody knows you're hurtin'
You're an invisible man
Nobody talkin' to you
Everybody lookin' straight through you
Everybody tryin' to screw you
They don't give a damn
No, they don't give a damn

Don't try pushin' me around 'cause
I'm gonna stand my ground
I ain't no lost and found
I could be your worst enemy
Everybody chimin' in and nobody listening
Everybody know everything, ever to need
Ever to need, don't tread on me

(Don't tread) I've got to
Sting like poison ivy
(Don't tread on me) I can crawl back
(Don't tread) and I've got a long memory
(Don't tread on me) with my
Back against the wall
(Don't tread) I can beat you all
(Don't tread on me) ain't treading on you
So don't tread on me

I ain't lookin' for charity and I
Sure ain't lookin' for sympathy
Just lookin' for a chance
To be somebody, somebody, hey
I ain't no nickel and dime, maybe
I've fallen out of time, but
Poverty ain't no crime, respect is the key
Respect is the key, respect is the key
Respect is the key, don't tread on me

(Don't tread) I've got to
Sting like poison ivy
(Don't tread on me) I can crawl back
(Don't tread) 'cause I've got a long memory
(Don't tread on me) with my
Back against the wall
(Don't tread) no, I could beat you all
(Don't tread on me) ain't treading on you
So don't tread on me don't tread on me

(Don't tread) I've got to
Sting like poison ivy
(Don't tread on me) I can crawl back
(Don't tread) 'cause I've got a long memory
(Don't tread on me) with my
Back against the wall
(Don't tread) oh, I could beat you all
(Don't tread on me) I ain't treading on you
So don't tread on me

Don't tread on me don't tread on me
Don't tread on me don't tread on me
Don't tread on me don't tread on me
Don't tread on me don't you tread on me
