I took a drive
and drove straight off a cliff
and parachuted out before I hit
but try as I might
I could not pull the chord
flashback to every word my father said
and as the ambulance looked for my body
a little phrase entered my head
what doesn't k** you son it only makes you stronger
now I'm so strong I should be dead
so I flew a kite
and used up all the string
I used up everything that it could give
but try as I might
I hit a power line
flash back to everyday that I had lived
and as the paramedics lifted up my body
a little phrase chimed in my ear
what doesn't k** you son it only makes you stronger
and now I'm stronger than a bear
and as the hospital began to take my vitals
my whole family gathered around
what does not k** you son it only makes you stronger
now I'm the strongest guy in town
I'm the strongest guy around
so I called your house to tell you where I was
and all the awful places I had been
now on your machine I am sounding like a jerk
wont blame you if you never talk to me again
