Smash Mouth - Defeat You Lyrics
Born is a human with a kung-fu spine
Equipped with a detector of whats on your mind
You jive you shuck you bob you weave
And when you're down you've got something up your sleeve
And you've got it good as bad as it gets
You're in it to win it and make every minute count
You put it all together and dish it out
Hey I know where you're from
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
Hey I know what you've done
It makes it that much better to defeat you
All that knowledge all those skills
All the gas it takes to get up top of the hill
And while the other try to take your spot
You wanna make them stop but you gotta make them stop
Jacks in the road yeah fix the breaks
It the instinct that's got us locked up tight
And it's the madness that's keeping us up all night
[Chorus]
It's what we are It's what we are It's what we are
Born is a human with mechanics to win
Born is machine with a human tucked in
You jive you shuck you jab you stick
You're calling out for help when it gets too thick
Your honor your honor its not me
It's the invisible visible evil powers that be
Untraceable insatiable having to feed
Yeah you cry when your wounded and you laugh when they bleed
[Repeat Chorus]

Lyrics for the kids who need em:
Born is a human with a kung fu spine
Equipped with a detector of what's on your mind
You jive you shuck you bob you weave
And when you're down you've got something up your sleeve
And you've got it good as bad as it gets
You make your own incisions that come with regrets
You're in it to win it and make every minute count
You put it all together and dish it out
Hey I know where you're from
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
Hey I know what you've done
It makes it that much better to defeat you
All that knowledge all those skills
All the gas it takes to get up top of the hill
And while the other try to take your spot
You want to make them stop but you gotta make them stop
Would you do anything whatever it takes
Jacks in the road yeah fix the breaks
It the instinct that's got us locked up tight
And it's the madness that's keeping us up all night
Hey I know where you're from
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
Hey I know what you've done
It makes it that much better to defeat you
It's what we are It's what we are It's what we are
Born is a human with mechanics to win
Born is machine with a human tucked in
You jive you shuck you jab you stick
You're calling out for help when it gets too thick
Your honor your honor its not me
It's the invisible visible evil powers that be
Untraceable insatiable having to feed
Yeah you cry when your wounded and you laugh when they bleed
Hey I know where you're from
It makes it that much nicer to meet you
Hey I know what you've done
It makes it that much better to defeat you
.......'all the gas it takes to get on top of the hill' - listen to the organ slip down a gear. lyrics nicely matching the music.
One of the things that really drew me to Smashmouth as a kid was the fact that they were really the first band I was introduced to where not every single one of their songs was about love, relationships, and breakups. This was back during the height of The Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, 98 Degrees. And then along comes this band that writes their own songs with creative ideas, well written lyrics, and they sound great to boot. I was hooked pretty much instantly.
Underrated comment about an underrated band!
11 people need to be defeated.
all the weebs who think this western song should go into there trash anime's
It definitely saddens me most videos on this song are AMVs, this song deserves better
Shoooooow good metaaal
listening to this song, I swear if the singer wanted to, he could sound just like disturbed.
Listen closely when uses his "sinister" voice.
All I can say is this song is: IAF...5 June '67...just sayin'
I was 33 in '99 when this album came out, one of my all-time best ever!!!
Kylo Ren's theme
I will be complete if Gearbox uses this for BL3.
i am 51 and started listening to this song in 1999 and they jammed back then as well as today 2017!!!
monti miller Smash Mouth is just a great band. In my case, I found them last year or so.
56 here and me, too!
I used to be able to sing every song from this album, still listening to it now, it hasn't got any worse, they are one of my favorite bands
I used to listen to this album and write Dragon Ball Z fan fiction. To answer your question, I'm still a nerd. Good thing nerds are "in" nowdays. :)
Smashmouth isn't in though
oh god me too. i really wanted an AMV of DBZ to this song, but i never found one
Maurice Oden That'd adorable. :D
Grey Potter That song should go to Wario, Waluigi, Bowser Jr., Bowser, Shadow, Vector, Metal Sonic, and Dr. Eggman Robotnik.
That's cool
This would work so well for Light and L in Death Note.
TURBO if i could have triple liked I would have
a powerful song!
This is going to forever be a favorite now that I know it.😇😈😇
*darude sandstorm starts playing* are you sure?
Bring it Ruby Weapon!!! =D
I'm so glad I found this. The chorus has been stuck in my head for days but I couldn't remember the rest of the song and it was REALLY BUGGING ME!
+Wendy Wheeler stop jiving and shucking and learn the lyrics dude
This is an awesome to sing when you are getting all up on your enemies grill, the lyrics are so balls to the wall awesome!!!
are you stoned .... :)
@Death Valentine I would assume so. NOBODY says "Balls to the Wall" anymore. XD.
@Death Valentine im actually stoned, its so lively mayne.
I used to picture a music video of me hitchhiking on a desert and then ryan gosling comes up in a red convertable and we drive off in the distance to some like desert make shift dance floor up a hill or something..that's before anyone knew who ryan gosling was..ya im weird
When ever I listen to this song, I immediately remember this comment and chuckle.
I'm 21-- Something recently popped up that made me remember these songs, and I can't believe how awesome they are even now. I remember listening to this like. HOW long ago? These guys had a real feel to them.
agreed with you skiinggirl95, even thou you very young to say that (95). it nevertless is the truth. thumbs up
I could make a really awesome police video to this song. LET THE BRAINSTORMING BEGIN! =D
@ssgoku1232 You've got it good, as bad as it gets :P
The guitar at the chorus is great
I used to listen to this song sooooooooo much on car trips! My parents were relieved when the tape player ate my tape!
How was this not a hit?
I love Smash Mouth.
great song
