Well I'm a footnote, baby, and I don't mean maybe
And I'm sitting underneath your main text
You could have fit me into the yarn you spin
But you're the author so I guess you know best
It ain't that cool to be supplementary
To be a little insignificant fact
But if there's any information than requires explanation
They can look to me and then they'll look back
I'm just a footnote, yeah I'm just a footnote
I'm just a footnote, I'm just a little old footnote
But now the glossary, the index and me
You'll see us coming up and over the trench
Because the day has come for revolution
And we're finally gonna get our revenge
All the other words are gonna really hurt
When I take over the spotlight for once
'Cause once I finally got 'em they'll be down here at the bottom
Yeah, those cocky and conceited old... jerks
I'm not just a footnote, no not just a footnote
I'm not just a footnote, throw some respect on the footnote
Now with the battle won, you'd think my work is done
But if you're squeamish then you'd better not look
'Cause I'll direct my rage at the title page
Then, motherfucker, I will be the whole book
I'm not just a footnote, I am a violent footnote
And now you're the footnote, this is revenge of the footnote
