Is this thing on ? |
|
In the hallway of a high school, anywhere USA |
|
There was a bully that would pick on a different kid |
|
And it seemed like every day. |
|
He had this pack of back slapping buddies |
|
That would laugh and back him up all the way |
|
And this screaming girlfriend |
|
That would make believe in everything he'd say. |
|
Is this thing working ? |
|
Is this thing on ? |
|
Because then one day this kid |
|
That he'd beat up a couple times before |
|
Realized, to even his own surprise |
|
That he probably could indeed take more. |
|
And with that he hatched an evil plan to make that devil pay |
|
He walked up to him, in the middle of the gym |
|
And he found the nerve to say |
|
You gonna hit somebody, today ? You gonna hit me too |
|
In fact, you're gonna hit me every day |
|
Because now I'm picking on you. |
|
And as crazy as it all might sound right now |
|
I'm not stopping until I'm through |
|
It's too late to beg for mercy. |
|
Is this thing working ? |
|
Is this thing on ? |
|
Because that bully he just laughed and laughed |
|
Of course, and so did all of his friends |
|
And he beat that poor kid unmercifully |
|
For days and days on end. |
|
Only slightly less impressively each time |
|
To that pretty girl and all of his friends |
|
Who would eventually, secretly |
|
Start hoping for that kid to win. |
|
So is this thing working ? |
|
Is this thing on ? |
|
You know, you'll never hear him say this now |
|
Because he thinks we still don't know |
|
But winning that battle every day |
|
Cost our bully the war a long time ago. |
|
And of all the scars he's got to show |
|
For every blow that kid sneaks in |
|
The worst one is probably knowing |
|
That tomorrow he's going to have to get up |
|
And fight that kid again. |
