Come down
Hey kid, I'm talkin' to you
What am I supposed to do
You know that you're something special
That's something you already knew
Hey kid, got something to say
But you won't listen anyway
I am only tryin' to help you
But you get further every day

We think your head is getting
Bigger and bigger and bigger
Hey kid, some good advice
To bring your britches down to size
Some modesty would suit you better
So why don't you give it a try

Hey kid ego
With your head above the clouds
Hey kid ego, whoa
Come down

Hey kid, you're Mr. It
Inch by inch a little bit
Stepping on the little people
Like you don't even give a shit
Hey kid, you have it all
Standing proud on top of the world
Don't you know the bigger they come
The harder they must all fall

We think your head is getting
Bigger and bigger and bigger
We think you should be taught
Some manners, manners, manners
Hey kid, some good advice
To bring your britches down to size
Some modesty would suit you better
So why don't you give it a try

Hey kid ego
With your head above the clouds
Hey kid ego, whoa
Come down
Hey kid ego
With your head above the clouds
Hey kid ego, whoa
Come down

Hey kid, some good advice
To bring your britches down to size
Some modesty would suit you better
So why don't you give it a try

Hey kid ego
With your head above the clouds
Hey kid ego, whoa
Come down
Hey kid ego
With your head above the clouds
Hey kid ego, whoa
Come down
Hey kid ego
With your head above the clouds
Hey kid ego, whoa
Come down
Come down
Come down

Extreme

Extreme is an American rock band, currently headed by frontman Gary Cherone and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. The band reached the height of their popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s with original line-up Gary Cherone, Nuno Bettencourt, Paul Geary and Patrick Badger.

Among some of Extreme’s musical influences are Van Halen, Queen, Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. The band played at The Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert in 1992. Geary left the group in 1994 to form an artist management company, and Cherone joined Van Halen in 1996. The band has described their music as “funky metal” in the early days, but it would evolve much more in the mid-1990s by blending classic rock influences with post-grunge and alternative rock.

They have released five studio albums, two EPs (in Japan) and two compilation albums since their formation. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the early 1990s, selling over 10 million albums worldwide. Extreme achieved their greatest success with their 1990 album Pornograffitti, which peaked at number 10 on the Billboard 200, and was certified gold in May 1991 and double platinum in October 1992. That album featured the acoustic ballad single “More Than Words”, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.
