---> Play Chorus 1 over:
Well I'm sick of the chicks and sick of the bars
I'm sick of this scene (?) (?)
It's sad, yeah, it's getting me mad
I'm tired of you, pulling on me
It makes you look foolish and why can't you see
That it's weak, just stand on your feet
---> Play Chorus 2 over:
Get your arms off my shoulders and get a little older, yeah

You're out of luck, 'cause the souls that you suck
Yield nothing so I say

Make peace with me cause I'm sure that you'll see that it's

(Oh!)
---> Play Chorus 1 over:
Well, you know the type who always will try
To clip your wings and make you not fly
It's lame, it's always the same
It's (a) human instinct, to criticize
It takes mental dexterity to keep open eyes
It's true, it happened to you

It's sad to be talkin' while others take a walk into the

(Check it out!)
---> Play Ending over:
The soulsuckers-must-be-cir-cum-na-vi-ga-ted, yeaaah
