They laughed with me then laughed at me 
They said "how [bad word] , they said "not you" 
They thought how wise, then thought goodbye 
Your hit your stride, then Mr. Hyde 
Ride 'em, I got thrown again 
Ride 'em, get back on again 
I swam, I sank, top seed, unranked 
The pole, the wall, the pride, the fall 
state of grace, slapped in the face 
state of mind, then card declined 
From great to good, from good to fair 
To barely pass, stay after class 
I'm hot I'm cold, I'm bought, I'm sold 
First accolades then hand grenades 
They hate your look, they hate your book 
They hate your guts, you've heard enough 
It's not your day, it's not your week 
It's not your month, it's not your year
First AOK, then IOU 
BMOC, then MIA 
From DIY to DUI 
From 411 to 911
From soup to nuts, from job to cuts 
From sure to chance, from can to can'ts 
From smart to dumb, from bread to [bad word] 
From wowed to bored, Ole, then gored
From just desserts o just desserts 
From you're for me to ca suffit 
From bon vivant to sycophant 
From open door to [bad word] alors 
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em, I got thrown again 
Ride 'em cowboy, ride 'em, get back on again.
