The Lyrics

What would you do to prove yourself?
Not sure I can do this
Somethin' seems unfair, ow!
Hey, hey! Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh, oh!
Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh, yeah, oh!

"Only five trials", your own words
My feet are hurtin' mighty bad
But through the massive pointy pain, I still have my mind
Which means that I'm mighty mad, huh!
'Cause I started countin' all of my feats
The wall, the swamp, the barefoot-run mile
The hot coals over spikes, the run from hungry children
Their chants of "Flesh!" wigged my mind

But the tests just keep on comin', mmm-mmm-hmm, huh!
Just pile 'em all on, whoa-oh-oh-ho-ho
I-I-I-I-I'm so tired (I-I-I-I)
But to quit just ain't my style (I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I)

Now there's fifteen trials by my count
So many battles causin' such an arm strain
Jumped by random folks wieldin' chainsaws and shock poles
And I've got a fork, that's insane
I really think that I'm goin' crazy
Real physical-type harm, don't feel fine, huh!
And my head's takin' hits, almost forget to make ticks
To keep track of the forced-on feats of mine

The nonsense keeps on comin', hey! Whoo!
You pile 'em all on, let me tell y-y'all
I-I-I-I-I'm so tired, huh (I-I-I-I)!
But to bow out ain't my style (I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I)

Whoo!

C'mon, please, explain this now (c'mon, please, explain)
An excess of trials, this blows (tons of trials)
My count climbs, hmm (won't stop, won't stop), pain (won't stop, won't stop)
Bullshit (won't stop, won't stop), this is piss (won't stop, won't stop)
Fifty-five damn trials? This blows now
Climbin' the tallest hill, dig the deepest trench, huh!
Feels like my soul is tired, gotta wonder why
You need this for an office position

The madness keeps on comin', mmm-mmm-hmm, hey!
Just pile 'em all on, wait, let me tell y-y'all
I-I-I-I-I'm so tired, huh (I-I-I-I)!
But to quit just ain't my style (I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
Nonsense, yeah, huh!
When will it all stop? Let me tell y-y'all
I'm goin' crazy, right around the bend (I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I)
I-I, won't stop, though it's stupid (whooooo!)
Nonsense, hey, hey now
Want it to all stop, let me tell y-y'all, gotta say
I won't slip until I get this job (I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I)

So weird to be parodying this before "War".
