Verse 1: I get so angry by those who play it safe. The hair stands up. The
skin
chafes. ‘Cause they all want to play the diplomat. Heroes step forward,
cowards step back. And it makes me want to scream.
Verse 2: I may have lost the battle and the war, but at least I believe in what
I’m
fighting for. Because to me, you see, there’s only black and white. There’s
good and evil, wrong and right and it makes me want to scream. And now
Chorus: I’m irked, I’m irked. I’m as angry as I want to be. I’m irked,
I’m irked. They all should have all listened to me. I’m irked, I’m irked.
I’m just full of piss and vinegar. I’m irked. I’m irked. I’m a caged cougar.
Verse 3: Self preservation seems to be the only goal. No matter the price or how
steep the fall. So how sweet’s the victory if your body’s still here, but your
heart and mind and soul disappear? And it makes me want to scream. And
now…
Chorus:
Bridge: One day the cougar will be set free, and where will you be? Where will
you
be? Will you be friend or foe? After I devour you I guess we’ll both know,
that…
Chorus:
Bridge:
