Linkin Park
A Place for My Head (Live in Texas)
[Spoken Word: Mike Shinoda]
I wanna see the biggest pit I have ever seen!
That way, we’ve got it on camera and everything
This whole section right now
If you don’t wanna be in the pit, you better get out!
You better tell the dude with the camera that he’s right in the middle of the pit, ’cause thing is gonna be 50 feet long!
ALL of you!
If you don’t wanna be in the pit, get out right now!
You ready?
You ready?
Yes, y’all!
This is how we're gonna do this

[Verse 1: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, both]
I watch how the moon sits in the sky on a dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
Sun doesn’t give light to the moon assuming
The moon’s gonna owe it one
Makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors, then rapidly
Just turn around, and start askin’ me about
Things that you want back from me

[Pre-Chorus 1: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, both]
I’m sick of the tension, sick of the hunger (Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick)
Sick of you actin’ like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
[Chorus: Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda, both]
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
(You’ll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

[Verse 2: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, both]
Maybe someday, I’ll be just like you, and
Step on people like you do, and
Run away all the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
Used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous, but you shoulda known (No)
That you’d wear out your welcome
And now, you see how quiet it is all alone (Oh)

[Pre-Chorus 2: Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, both]
I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger (Aah)
Sick of you actin’ like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed (Oh)
While I find a place to rest
I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger (Aah)
Sick of you actin’ like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed (Oh)
While I find a place to rest (Kill it)
[Chorus: Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda, both]
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
(You’ll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

[Interlude: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
Uh (Shh)
Right now, what we need to hear from you guys
Is we need you to help us out with this next part
And all you need to do is say the words “go away”
We got that, up top?
We got that, up top?
People on the floor, we clear?
Do it like this…

[Bridge: Chester Bennington & Mike Shinoda, crowd]
You try to take the best of me (Go away)
You try to take the best of me (Go away)
You try to take the best of me (Go away)
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
You try to take the best of me, go away
[Chorus: Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda, both]
I wanna be in another place
I hate when you say you don’t understand
(You’ll see it's not meant to be)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

[Break: Chester Bennington]
Yah!
Shut
Up!
Why?

[Outro: Mike Shinoda & Chester Bennington]
I am so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger (Go away)
Sick of you actin’ like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed (No)
While I find a place to rest
I’m so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger (Why?)
Sick of you actin’ like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed (Stay away from me)
While I find a place to rest (Motherfucker!)
