( C D ) (8x) 

(Chorus) 
           C 
I said you wanna be startin' somethin' 
    D 
You got to be startin' somethin' 
           C 
I said you wanna be startin' somethin' 
    D 
You got to be startin' somethin' 
         C 
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah) 
    D 
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah) 
       C 
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah) 
        D 
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah) 
         C 
It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah) 
    D 
Too low to get under (yeah, yeah) 
       C 
You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah) 
        D 
And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah) 

       C 
I took my baby to the doctor 
       D 
With a fever, but nothing he found 
       C 
By the time this hit the street 
     D 
They said she had a breakdown 
C 
Someone's always tryin' 
   D 
To start my baby cryin' 
C 
Talkin', squealin', lyin' 
       D 
Sayin' you just wanna be startin' somethin' 

(Chorus) 

    C 
You love to pretend that you're good 
            D 
When you're always up to no good 
    C 
You really can't make him hate her 
        D 
So your tongue became a razor 
C 
Someone's always tryin' 
   D 
To keep my baby cryin' 
C 
Treacherous, cunnin', declinin' 
    D 
You got my baby cryin' 

(Chorus) 

(bridge) 
         C                   D 
You're a vegetable, you're a vegetable 
           C                  D 
Still they hate you, you're a vegetable 
              C                D 
You're just a buffet, you're a vegetable 
         C                    D 
They eat off of you, you're a vegetable 

       C 
Billie Jean is always talkin' 
       D 
When nobody else is talkin' 
        C 
Tellin' lies and rubbin' shoulders 
        D 
So they called her mouth a motor 
C 
Someone's always tryin' 
   D 
To start my baby cryin' 
C 
Talkin', squealin', spyin' 
       D 
Sayin' you just wanna be startin' somethin' 

(Chorus) 
         C                   D 
You're a vegetable, you're a vegetable 
           C                  D 
Still they hate you, you're a vegetable 
              C                D 
You're just a buffet, you're a vegetable 
         C                    D 
They eat off of you, you're a vegetable 

(solo) 

       C 
If you can't feed your baby (yeah, yeah) 
     D 
Then don't have a baby (yeah, yeah) 
    C 
And don't think maybe (yeah, yeah) 
       D 
If you can't feed your baby (yeah, yeah) 
C 
You'll be always tryin' 
   D 
To stop that child from cryin' 
C 
Hustlin', stealin', lyin' 
    D 
Now baby's slowly dyin' 

(Chorus) 

          C 
Lift your head up high 
               D 
And scream out to the world 
         C 
I know I am someone 
            D 
And let the truth unfurl 
           C 
No one can hurt you now 
            D 
Because you know what's true 
         C 
Yes, I believe in me 
         D 
So you believe in you, help me sing it 

      C 
Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa 
      D 
Ma ma se, ma ma sa, Ma ma coo sa 
      C 
Ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa 
      D 
Ma ma se, ma ma sa, Ma ma coo sa
