Hey, are you ready? Here we go!
Down to the ditch where the drainpipe flow
We pull the plug on the pals we know
Here at the Fickle Feeble Show
Backward and strange
Dreadfully plain
First rung from the drain
Rank, file and mark them down as friends
Arm in disarm
Brothers in harm
Stopgap 'til the bomb comes along
Fall out! Dismissed! You’re a mark upon your friends
You market down your friends when you mark them down as friends
Into the ditch do the ditchee go
What is a friend but a future foe?
My problem is I’m much too thin
I need to grow some thicker skin
Spineless and lame, I am
Stooping to kissing ass and dropping names
Look same, feign sane, oh woops I copped your game
Creep and crawl the scene to muster up a friend, then muck it up again
Hip parasite, need not like
Coattails to bite, and can I have a ride?
Then cock crows thrice and little birds are nice
Rim-toss rat I mock them down as friends,
You mock them down as friends,
We mock them down as friends
Into the ditch do the ditchers go
What is a friend but a favorite foe?
My problem is I’m much too thin
I need to grow some thicker skin
Into the ditch I the friendship row
That’s where the current seems to flow
My problem is I’m much too thin
I need to grow some thicker skin.
Don’t look in the mirror
You can’t stare down the terror in there
I’m not much of a seer
But I will foretell what hell waits in there
Cast your eyes for shame
Shroud in loathing veil
Tuck your tail and hide
Circumspect and fetal
Lest they smell you and single you out
Awful offal you are
Shrivel and pray that the pack don’t catch you out
Cast your eyes for shame
Shroud in loathing veil
Go away!
And now you’re walking on the street
And nah you cannot bear the eyes
Why? Aren’t you feeling so upbeat?
Just lift your head up, can’t ya?
Voice inside is calling
Up from the deep
It’s aching and it’s gnawing
And I cannot sleep
What do you want with me?
Please don’t make me spill
I’m happily unhappy
Defiantly unfulfilled
In this lie I’ve built
I wanna fight against the world, against the right
I wanna settle the score, don’t wanna feel anymore
And I don’t wanna right the wrongs I write
Hold fast on my shaky ground
From what you’re asking of me
There would be no going back
There’s the line I see it
So quiet and so clear
Guts churn at the thought to cross it
Revolt in stubborn fear
It draws a steadfast offer
Leads a better way
But I shove it back down inside of me
To fight another day
Drowning in decay
I don’t wanna fight against the world, against the right
Don’t wanna settle no score, don’t wanna be anymore
But I don’t wanna fight to keep the fire ember from burning out
If I keep living this way
There’ll be no coming back
