*It is in drop D tuning and is played with a pick

Here are the lyrics:

I want my life back
I want my bookbag
I want my want back
I want my back to back
I am hanging upside down
I am the face that's on your frown
I am your ceiling fan
I am not a man

I want, I need, I sleep, I breathe

We don't need sleep
Pointless, says the fox
I don't want to be
Sister's in the shop
Hello Margerie
Oh, how're you doing?
Soda or ice tea?
Already brewing

We make no sense
We can't take hints
We want to call back
We are allowed consumers
We read the Bible
We contradict our titles
I am no certain
Hand to be a hook

I want, I need, I sleep, I breathe

We don't need sleep
Pointless, says the fox
I don't want to be
Sister's in the shop
Hello Margerie
Oh, how're you doing?
Soda or ice tea?
