Is what you say but I wanted it this way

I'll claim a stake, here inside the frame
Consult your checklist go underground
You're more than welcome to look around
I laid it down, underneath the sound
I'll claim a stake, here inside the frame

Consult your checklist, go underground
Decision on the dock head, make up your mind
It's my funeral today, my funeral today
'Cause I'm throwin' down without a fight
The city hall in my mind, got together last night
When I was yours when all I wanted was the door
It's my principle concern, my principle concern
And if you get consensus, drop me a line
You're more than welcome to look around
Rumors of reelection started to fly
I won't return after today so I'm at liberty
So I'm throwin' down without a fight
But I'm going under another way

But I'm going under another way
To say what's on my mind and it some I like
You can't watch me anymore, you can't make me like before
