[Dm]These are the results of a thousand electric volts
[Gm]A neck with bolts, "Nurse we're losin him, check the pulse!"
[Dm]A kid who refused to respect adults
[Gm]Wore spectacles with taped frames and a freckled nose
[Dm]A corny lookin white boy, scrawny and always ornery
[Gm]Cause I was always sick of brawny bullies pickin on me
[Dm]And I might snap, one day just like that
[Gm]I decided to strike back and flatten every tire on the bike rack
[Dm](Whosssssh) My first day in junior high, this kid said,
[Gm]"It's you and I, three o'clock sharp this afternoon you die"
[Dm]I looked at my watch it was one twenty
[Gm]"I already gave you my lunch money what more do you want from me?!?"
[Dm]He said, "Don't try to run from me, you'll just make it worse..."
[Gm]My palms were sweaty, and I started to shake at first
[Dm]Something told me, "Try to fake a stomach ache it works"
[Gm]I screamed, "Owww! My appendix feels like they could burst!
[Dm]Teacher, teacher, quick I need a naked nurse!"
[Gm][N] "What's the matter?"
[Dm]
[E] "I don't know, my leg, it hurts!"
[Gm][N] "Leg?!? I thought you said it was your tummy?!?"
[Dm]
[E] "Oh, I mean it is, but I also got a bum knee!"
[Gm][N] "Mr. Mathers, the fun and games are over.
[Dm]And just for that stunt, you're gonna get some extra homework."
[Gm]
[E] "But don't you wanna give me after school detention?"
[Dm][N] "Nah, that bully wants to beat your ass and I'ma let him."
