I took my baby to the doctor
With a fever, but nothin' he found
By the time this hit the street
They said she had a breakdown

Someone's always tryin'
To start my baby cryin'
Talkin', squealin', lyin'
Sayin' you just want to be startin' somethin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
Ah, you got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah!)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah!)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah!)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah!)
Ah, too high to get over (yeah, yeah!)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah!)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah!)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah!)

You love to pretend that you're good
When you're always up to no good
You really can't make him hate her
So, your tongue became a razor

Someone's always tryin'
To keep my baby cryin'
Treacherous, cunnin', declinin'
You got my baby cryin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin' (Hee!)
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah!)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah!)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah!)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah!)
Too high to get over (yeah, yeah!)
And too low to get under (yeah, yeah!)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah!)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah!)

You're a vegetable (you're a vegetable)
You're a vegetable (you're a vegetable)
Still they hate you (still they hate you)
You're a vegetable (you're a vegetable)
You're just a buffet (you're just a buffet)
You're a vegetable (you're a vegetable)
They eat off of you (they eat off of you)
You're a vegetable, ow!

You just want to be startin' somethin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah!)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah!)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah!)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah!)
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah!)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah!)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah!)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah!)

You're a vegetable (you're a vegetable)
You're a vegetable (you're a vegetable)
Still they hate you (still they hate you)
You're a vegetable (you're a vegetable)
You're just a buffet (you're just a buffet)
You're a vegetable (you're a vegetable)
They eat off of you (they eat off of you)
You're a vegetable, ow!

Ow!
(Hee-haw!) Ow!

If you can't feed your baby (yeah, yeah!)
Then don't have a baby (yeah, yeah!)
And don't think maybe (yeah, yeah!)
If you can't feed your baby (yeah, yeah!)

You'll be always tryin'
To stop that child from cryin'
Hustlin', stealin', lyin'
Now baby's slowly dyin'

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'
I said you wanna be startin' somethin'
You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah!)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah!)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah!)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah!)
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah!)
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah!)
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah!)
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah!)

Lift your head up high
And scream out to the world
"I know I am someone"
And let the truth unfurl (Hee-haw!)

No one can hurt you now
Because you know what's true
Yes, I believe in me
So, you believe in you
Help me sing it!

(Ouais- ouais!) Hoo, hoo!
(Ouais- ouais!) Ouais!
(Ouais- ouais!) Ah! Hé, hé, hé!
(Ouais- ouais!)

J'ai emmené mon bébé chez le médecin
Avec de la fièvre, mais il n'a rien trouvé
Au moment où ça a frappé la rue
Ils ont dit qu'elle avait fait une dépression

Quelqu'un essaie toujours
De faire pleurer mon bébé
Parler, crier, mentir
Dire que tu veux juste commencer quelque chose

J'ai dit que tu voulais commencer quelque chose
Ah, tu dois commencer quelque chose
J'ai dit que tu voulais commencer quelque chose
Tu dois commencer quelque chose

C'est trop haut pour passer au-dessus (ouais, ouais!)
Trop bas pour passer en dessous (ouais, ouais!)
Tu es coincé au milieu (ouais, ouais!)
Et la douleur est un tonnerre (ouais, ouais!)
Ah, trop haut pour passer au-dessus (ouais, ouais!)
Trop bas pour passer en dessous (ouais, ouais!)
Tu es coincé au milieu (ouais, ouais!)
Et la douleur est un tonnerre (ouais, ouais!)

Tu aimes faire semblant d'être bien
Quand tu ne fais rien de bon
Tu ne peux vraiment pas lui faire détester
Alors, ta langue est devenue un rasoir

Quelqu'un essaie toujours
De faire pleurer mon bébé
Traître, rusé, déclinant
Tu as fait pleurer mon bébé

J'ai dit que tu voulais commencer quelque chose (Hé!)
Tu dois commencer quelque chose
J'ai dit que tu voulais commencer quelque chose
Tu dois commencer quelque chose

C'est trop haut pour passer au-dessus (ouais, ouais!)
Trop bas pour passer en dessous (ouais, ouais!)
Tu es coincé au milieu (ouais, ouais!)
Et la douleur est un tonnerre (ouais, ouais!)
Trop haut pour passer au-dessus (ouais, ouais!)
Et trop bas pour passer en dessous (ouais, ouais!)
Tu es coincé au milieu (ouais, ouais!)
Et la douleur est un tonnerre (ouais, ouais!)

Tu es un légume (tu es un légume)
Tu es un légume (tu es un légume)
Pourtant ils te détestent (pourtant ils te détestent)
Tu es un légume (tu es un légume)
Tu n'es qu'un buffet (tu n'es qu'un buffet)
Tu es un légume (tu es un légume)
Ils se nourrissent de toi (ils se nourrissent de toi)
Tu es un légume, ow!

Tu veux juste commencer quelque chose

J'ai dit que tu voulais commencer quelque chose
Tu dois commencer quelque chose
J'ai dit que tu voulais commencer quelque chose
Tu dois commencer quelque chose

C'est trop haut pour passer au-dessus (ouais, ouais!)
Trop bas pour passer en dessous (ouais, ouais!)
Tu es coincé au milieu (ouais, ouais!)
Et la douleur est un tonnerre (ouais, ouais!)
C'est trop haut pour passer au-dessus (ouais, ouais!)
Trop bas pour passer en dessous (ouais, ouais!)
Tu es coincé au milieu (ouais, ouais!)
Et la douleur est un tonnerre (ouais, ouais!)

Tu es un légume (tu es un légume)
Tu es un légume (tu es un légume)
Pourtant ils te détestent (pourtant ils te détestent)
Tu es un légume (tu es un légume)
Tu n'es qu'un buffet (tu n'es qu'un buffet)
Tu es un légume (tu es un légume)
Ils se nourrissent de toi (ils se nourrissent de toi)
Tu es un légume, ow!

Ow!
(Hé-haw!) Ow!

Si tu ne peux pas nourrir ton bébé (ouais, ouais!)
Alors n'aie pas de bébé (ouais, ouais!)
Et ne pense pas que peut-être (ouais, ouais!)
Si tu ne peux pas nourrir ton bébé (ouais, ouais!)

Tu essaieras toujours
D'empêcher cet enfant de pleurer
Tricher, voler, mentir
Maintenant bébé est en train de mourir

J'ai dit que tu voulais commencer quelque chose
Tu dois commencer quelque chose
J'ai dit que tu voulais commencer quelque chose
Tu dois commencer quelque chose

C'est trop haut pour passer au-dessus (ouais, ouais!)
Trop bas pour passer en dessous (ouais, ouais!)
Tu es coincé au milieu (ouais, ouais!)
Et la douleur est un tonnerre (ouais, ouais!)
C'est trop haut pour passer au-dessus (ouais, ouais!)
Trop bas pour passer en dessous (ouais, ouais!)
Tu es coincé au milieu (ouais, ouais!)
Et la douleur est un tonnerre (ouais, ouais!)

Lève la tête haute
Et crie au monde entier
"Je sais que je suis quelqu'un"
Et laisse la vérité se dévoiler (Hé-haw!)

Personne ne peut te faire de mal maintenant
Parce que tu sais ce qui est vrai
Oui, je crois en moi
Alors, crois en toi
