[Intro] Don't demand things of me, you always want control Lightning flashed, the thunder rolled, a classic summer storm Every time you open your mouth, you try to take a toll My brother stood on the front lawn, in a human, stupid form What's that you're asking now, who are you to tell me what to do? He held a metal garden rake, a dumb look on his face, it's true You think you know what's best, but you're so damn wrong He said he'd fix the lightning rod, then lightning hit him head‑on [Pre-Chorus] I pulled my phone out fast and quick, I knew this was the time I'm taking back my power, I won't let you cross that line To capture something epic, a video so sublime Don't demand things of me, this moment's gonna be mine [Drop / Chorus Switch] The bolt came down, a blinding flash, a sizzle and a pop I'm sick of all your games, trying to play me like a prop My brother's hair stood on its end, he did a funny little hop You think you're in charge, but I'm breaking all your locks Oh, my brother hates me now, I caught him getting zapped You think you're in charge, but I'm breaking all your rules, in fact I posted it, he went viral, the whole world was entranced You can't control me, I'm the one who runs this dance They call him Mr. Electron, his fame is everywhere You can't control me, I won't be your puppet in the air But every time he tries to hit me, I got a new one to share Don't demand things of me, I'm flying out of here [Verse Mix] You're always on my case, trying to make me feel small The first video got millions of views, comments flew like rain, on a roll "Mr. Electron!" they all cheered, "He's awesome! He's insane!" But I won't let you bring me down, I'm cutting every chain My brother saw the video, and his face turned red with rage You lunge at me with orders, but I'm stepping off your stage He chased me down the driveway, and I kept the camera on I'm done with all your demands, by the time you blink I'm gone He tripped and fell into the mud, a glorious, muddy swan You try to write my story, but I'm authoring my own song I posted that one too, of course, a hit just like the last I'm taking back my power, your control is in the past [Chorus Mash] Oh, my brother hates me now, I caught him getting zapped I'm sick of all your games, trying to play me like I'm trapped I posted it, he went viral, the whole world was entranced You think you're in charge, but I'm leading this dance They call him Mr. Electron, his fame is everywhere You can't control me, I won't be your puppet in the air But every time he tries to hit me, I just post a new one to share Don't demand things of me, I'm already out of there [Bridge / Build] He tried to outrun a car, a challenge wild and grand I'm breaking free from your grip, got the camera in my hand He ran and ran, his legs a blur, a marathon of pain I'm charting my own course, dancing in the rain The car kept inching closer in the pouring summer rain You push, I pull away, I'm cutting every chain He gave up on the sidewalk, with a tired, desperate groan Another viral masterpiece, a legend of his own He screamed, "I'll kill you, little brother!" with a fiery, furious roar You shout more orders at me, but I won't take it anymore And I just smiled and said, "That's good, I've got content for more!" I'll make my own decisions, I'm slamming every door [Final Chorus / Outro] Oh, my brother hates me now, I caught him getting zapped I'm sick of all your games, I won't ever wander back They call him Mr. Electron, his fame is everywhere You can't control me, I'm not your puppet in the air But every time he tries to hit me, I got another one to share Don't demand things of me, I'm already in the clear So if you see a crazy man with frizzy, static hair Know I took back my power when I pointed, filmed, and stared You think you're in charge, but I'm breaking all your rules You can't demand things of me— I turn your lightning into views.
