And jack the brother of the ball
I don’t have the patience
In the other bands
To keep it on the up
And movies are as bad as
Not a double taker
I don’t have the patience
I don’t have the patience
I’m a troublemaker
I’m a troublemaker

As anyone can see
I’m movin’ out to Cherokee

There isn’t anybody else
(Keep it on the up)
They try to understand
And never giving up
Marrying a bitch
Doing things my own way
I’m a troublemaker
You wanted arts and crafts
Who needs stupid books?
Like 1999

Having 7 kids
I’m a troublemaker
And never giving up

Never giving up
Why I am so unlike the singers
Never been a faker
And suckin' up to Bob
(Keep it on the up)
’Cause I can’t work a job
Never been a faker
They are for petty crooks
I’m a troublemaker

I’m such a mystery
How’s this for arts and crafts?

Because I’m such a special guy
What does this signify?
To keep it on the up
I’m a troublemaker
And I will learn by studying

I’ll sack the quarterback
Doing things my own way
(Keep it on the up)
And hoping there’s a God
And people will crane necks
Don’t let me play football
I’m a troublemaker

I’m a troublemaker

And see if I am having sex
And you will go to bed with me
Doing things my own way

I’m gonna be a rock star
In studying my moves

I’m gonna be a star
And you will die
I’m a troublemaker
To keep it on the up
And never giving up
Exactly quite like me

Like any other slob
’Cause that’s what others see

Not a double taker
(Keep it on the up)
I picked up a guitar

I’m growing out my hair
I’m a troublemaker
Not a double taker
To teach me how to read
They only sicken me
And I don’t need a single book

Never been a faker
That’s right
I’ll party by myself

To get a glimpse of me
So turn off the TV
And when it’s party time
Giving up and growing old
Punchin’ in and punchin’ out
The lesson in my dreams
Eating chocolate ice cream
I’m gonna play some heavy metal riffs
