[Verse]
Em A7
Born is a human with a kung fu spine
Em A7
Equipped with a detector of what's on your mind
Em A7
You jive you shuck you bob you weave
Em
And when you're down you've got
A7
something up your sleeve
Em A7
And you've got it good as bad as it gets
Em A7
You make your own incisions that come with regrets
Em A7
You're in it to win it and make every minute count
Em A7
You put it all together and dish it out
[Chorus]
E A D7 E
Hey I know where you're from
G A
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
E A D7 E
Hey I know what you've done
G A
It makes it that much better to defeat you
[Interlude]
Em G A
Em G A
[Verse 2]
Em A7
All that knowledge all those skills
Em A7
All the gas it takes to get up top of the hill
Em A7
And while the other try to take your spot
Em A7
You want to make them stop but you gotta make them stop
Em A7
Would you do anything whatever it takes
Em A7
Jacks in the road yeah fix the breaks
Em A7
It's the instinct that's got us locked up tight
Em A7
And it's the madness that's keeping us up all night
[Chorus 2]
[Solo]

It's what we are
[Verse 3]
Em A7
Born is a human with mechanics to win
Em A7
Born is machine with a human tucked in
Em A7
You jive you shuck you jab you stick
Em A7
You're calling out for help when it gets too thick
Em A7
Your honor your honor its not me
Em A7
It's the invisible visible evil powers that be
Em A7
Untraceable insatiable having to feed
Em A7
Yeah you cry when your wounded and you laugh when they bleed
[Chorus 3]
