Lyrics:
You don't seem to understand the deal
I don't give two shits on how you feel
You been burnt by my lighter
You been burnt by my lighter
And my lighter is held down by my thumb

You’re living in thought soul
You’re living in thought soul
You’re living in thought soul, oh

You tried to turn me off
But you couldn't even turn me down
As I said, then I told you were livin' in hell
You’re nailed to the ground (nailed to the ground)
And now your found (now you're found)
My thumb is yours and yours is a startin' to swell

You’re living in thought soul
You’re living in thought soul
You’re living in thought soul, oh
