|
| In the hallway of a high school
|
| Anywhere USA
|
| There was a bully that would pick on a different kid
|
| It seemed like every day
|
| He had this pack of back slapping buddies
|
| Laughing and backing him up all the way
|
| And this screaming girlfriend who would make believe in everything
|
| He’d say
|
| Is this thing working?
|
| Is this thing on?
|
| Is this thing working?
|
| Is this thing on?
|
| Well then one day this kid
|
| Who he’d beat up a bunch of times before
|
| Realized, to his own surprise
|
| That he probably could indeed take more
|
| And with that he hatched an evil plan to
|
| Make that devil pay
|
| 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
|
| But now I’m picking on you
|
| And as crazy as it all might sound right now
|
| I ain’t stopping till I’m through
|
| It’s too late to beg for mercy
|
| I ain’t gonna give any to you

|
| Well that bully he just laughed and laughed
|
| Of course, and so did all of his friends
|
| Beat that poor kid unmercifully
|
| For days and days on end
|
| Only slightly less impressively to that girl
|
| And all of his friends
|
| Eventually, secretly, start
|
| Hope that kid might win
|
| So, it this thing working?

|
| You’re never gonna hear him say this now
|
| Because he thinks we 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 sneaked in
|
| The worst one is probably knowing that tomorrow he’s
|
| going to have to get up
|
| And fight that kid again
