Please help me solve the mystery
of laceration tragedy
We'll settle this affair
and we'll quickly see that no one cares

Well, come on!

I'm fuckin' tired of livin' life this way
I'm not expectin' for you to want to stay
'Cause nobody wants to fuckin' stay with me
if they did they know that I would make 'em see

Now, come on, don't just stand and stare
to find a bleedin' soul ain't rare
Damnit, life's just so swell
I'd pay you to take me straight to Hell

Well, come on!

I'm fuckin' tired of livin' life this way
I'm not expectin' for you to want to stay
'Cause nobody wants to fuckin' stay with me
if they did they know that I would make 'em see

I'll consider it, might as well
God knows I won't be saved by bell
You sit there, happily
but you won't be smilin' long, baby

Well, come on!

I'm fuckin' tired of livin' life this way
I'm not expectin' for you to want to stay
'Cause nobody wants to fuckin' stay with me
if they did they know that I would make 'em see

I - would - make - 'em - see - clear-ly -
RIGHT NOW!
