He's got some hard bark on his back, he survived another attack
And just when he thought he was rid of it all
She made him again, he took a hard fall
He's got some hard bark on his back
He's got a twitchin' goin' on in his knees,
He's havin' trouble he can't get no relief
And just when he thought he discovered a cure
She showed up and knocked him down on the floor
He's got a twitchin' goin' on in his knees
He's got a swirlin' goin' on in his brain
The endless talkin', it's causin' him pain
And just when he thought he might get to sleep
Her voice woke him up when she started to speak, she started to speak
He's got a swirlin' goin' on in his brain
He's been lonesome for days, he walks around in a haze
He's mad at the way his life has been
He's asleep on his feet, can't force himself to eat
Yeah, he's sick of bein' in the shape he's in
He's got some hard bark on his back, from survivin' another attack
And just when he thought he was rid of it all,
she made him again, he hit a brick wall
He's got some hard bark on his back
