Lyrics:

What do you expect I'm doing up here

What's with you what's the problem

You will always treat me obscene

Who cares if they make sense

You went and sat there and broke their bottles

You rip the seam off the bottom of their jackets

But you won't even know what are there

You're shit

Verbal abuse I get into trouble

Verbal abuse Burn me, I'll do it again

Verbal abuse It's totally your fault

Verbal abuse I guess you want some more

Listen to her try to suck me dry

Problem with you you're afraid to die

They'll come around again and again

But in the end I know I'll win

There's no preference

Fuck this lets just kill them dead

Fuck with this discussion

Fuck this lets just kill them

Well well what the fuck

The worst thing has been done to you

That dumb ass will blow you away

No one now is getting dead

You won't feel a thing

Or your body's life you were fighting for

Got one now is dead

Got another that makes two

Got one more that is three

Don't cross me no more or you're dead

Problem with you you're afraid to die

They'll come around again and again

But in the end I know I'll win

Fuck this let's just kill them dead

Smash their head

Kill them all

Oh well, oh what, oh once and for all
