The left and the right… don’t think alike
one sure, one in doubt… what's that about?
coming out any time… not that I mind
never knowing if it shows… but everyone knows
One thing you need to understand
I hold your life in my hands
and I enjoy that kind of power
Shout out loud
turn inside out
open my eyes right now
shout out loud
turn me around
you'll never keep me down
Sometimes on the sly... they come alive!
I know it's never the plan... but I am only a man
One thing you need to understand
you lift me up like no one can
and you enjoy that kind of power
So shout out loud
and turn inside out
open my eyes right now
shout out loud
turn me around
you'll never keep me down
no, you won't
I see the points that you make
one at a time, they're mine to take
I can't help but overestimate mistakes
and to ignore them would require all my strength
so I...
Shout out loud
turn inside out
open my eyes right now
shout out loud
turn me around
you could never keep me down
no, no, no, no, no

Background:
Music: Pretty rockin' and I was actually working on another song when this riff showed up... but it fit much better with the first verse of this song (which is all I had at the time)... which was also written two years earlier. This is definitely going to be the opening track of album #4.
Lyrics: I am not allowed to say what this song is about. In public.
