Verse

this is played in both verses)

These are the results of a thousand electric volts

A neck with bolts, "Nurse we're losin him, check the pulse!"

A kid who refused to respect adults

Wore spectacles with taped frames and a freckled nose

A corny lookin white boy, scrawny and always ornery

Cause I was always sick of brawny bullies pickin on me

And I might snap, one day just like that

I decided to strike back and flatten every tire on the bike rack

(Whosssssh) My first day in junior high, this kid said,

"It's you and I, three o'clock sharp this afternoon you die"

I looked at my watch it was one twenty

"I already gave you my lunch money what more do you want from me?!?"

He said, "Don't try to run from me, you'll just make it worse..."

My palms were sweaty, and I started to shake at first

Something told me, "Try to fake a stomach ache it works"

I screamed, "Owww! My appendix feels like they could burst!

Teacher, teacher, quick I need a naked nurse!"

[N] "What's the matter?"

"I don't know, my leg, it hurts!"

[N] "Leg?!? I thought you said it was your tummy?!?"

"Oh, I mean it is, but I also got a bum knee!"

[N] "Mr. Mathers, the fun and games are over.

And just for that stunt, you're gonna get some extra homework."

"But don't you wanna give me after school detention?"

[N] "Nah, that bully wants to beat your ass and I'ma let him."

Chorus

Brain damage, ever since the day I was born

Drugs is what they used to say I was on

They say I never knew which way I was goin

But everywhere I go they keep playin my song
