[Chorus] The demon in my head named Respect Tellin' me to drive these fragile folks away What do you expect? Aside from some neglect When monsters are real And I've got one in my brain [Verse 1] The worms crawl in The worms crawl out And the worms they feast upon my doubt Now the worms make what's wrong feel right It seems this world will never learn You give a man time and the worst he'll earn It's cold now and the dead refuse their tired turn [Chorus] The demon in my head named Respect Tellin' me to drive these fragile folks away What do you expect? Aside from some neglect When monsters are real And I've got one in my brain [Verse 2] Build me up so that you can cut me down Tell me that I'm nothin' so you can cry when I'm not around Coercing the selfish to fashion selfless sounds All the while based on the truth you know but the truth whose only proof is doubt [Chorus] The demon in my head named Respect Tellin' me to drive these fragile folks away What do you expect? Aside from some neglect When monsters are real And I've got one in my brain [Bridge] The demon in my head named Respect needs it Best believe I'll find a way to feed it [Verse 3] Now the worms make what's wrong feel right [Outro] The demon in my head named Respect needs it Best believe I'll find a way to feed it So don't be that way I must apologise There is nobody perfect Just a fictional title is respect A title I need To be respected
