"Dead Set" lyrics

They tried to put me away
But I'm back and I'm here to stay
Nothin' can stand in my way
'Cause I'm dead set and I'm ready to play

Dead set about playin'
I'm dead set gonna try
I'm dead set about winnin'
I'm gonna be first over the line
I'm sick and tired of bein' second best
I'm sick of hearin' the lies
I'm dead set about winnin'
I'm gonna be first over the line

They thought I was a monkey
Dancin' on a string
But I'm more like a scorpion
And I'm mad as hell and I'm a-ready to sting

Dead set about playin'
I'm dead set gonna try
I'm dead set about winnin'
I'm gonna be first over the line
I'm sick and tired of bein' second best
I'm sick of hearin' the lies
I'm dead set about winnin'
I'm gonna be first over the line

I'm gonna be first!

They used me like a fool, they treated me like dirt
Just because I didn't moan, don't mean it didn't hurt
They tried to put me away, but I'm back and I'm here to stay
And nothin' can stand in my way
'Cause I'm dead set and I'm ready to play

Dead set about playin'
I'm dead set gonna try
I'm dead set about winnin'
I'm gonna be first over the line
I'm sick and tired of bein' second best
I'm sick of hearin' the lies
I'm dead set about playin'
I'm gonna be first, I'm gonna be first, I'm gonna be first
I'm gonna be first... over the line
