Sweet Revenge |
| I got kicked off Noah’s Ark |
| I turn my cheek to unkind remarks |
| There was two of everything, but one of me |
| And when the rains came tumbling down |
| I held my breath and I stood my ground |
| And I watched that ship go sailing out to sea |
| Take it back, take it back, oh no, you can’t say that |
| All of my friends are not dead or in jail |
| Through rock and through stone, the black wind still moans |
| Sweet revenge, sweet revenge without fail |
| I caught an aisle seat on a plane |
| And drove an English teacher half insane |
| Making up jokes about bicycle spokes and red balloons |
| So I called up my local DJ |
| And he didn’t have a lot to say |
| 'Cause the radio has learned all of my favorite tunes |
| Take it back, take it back, oh no, you can’t say that |
| All of my friends are not dead or in jail |
| Through rock and through stone, the black wind still moans |
| Sweet revenge, sweet revenge without fail |
| The white meat is on the run |
| And the dark meat is far too done |
| And the milkman left me a note yesterday |
| Get out of this town by noon |
| You’re coming on way too soon |
| And besides that, we never liked you any way |
| Take it back, take it back, oh no, you can’t say that |
| All of my friends are not dead or in jail |
| Through rock and through stone, the black wind still moans |
| Sweet revenge, sweet revenge without fail |
| Sweet revenge, sweet revenge will prevail without fail |
