We  were spitting venom at most
everyone  we know if the
damned  gave us a roadmap then we'd
know  just where to go
 Now let it drop
 Let it all drop
 Let it all drop
 Oh, let it all  fall off
 Well, you  were talking soda pop
 You talk  it quite a lot
 The opinions  that I do not give
 Are the opinions  I ain't got
 So let it drop
 Let it all drop
 Let it all drop
 Let it all  fall off
]
 Oh, well
 You were spitting venom at most everyone you know
 If you truly knew the gravity
 You'd know which way to go
 Well, let it drop
 Let it all drop
 Let it all drop
 Oh, let it all fall off
 My ears were pressing firmly right against your mouth to hear
 When you tried to spit the venom out, your words were not so clear
 Now drop
 Hold on to what you need
 We've got a knack for fucked-up history
 Hold on to what you need
 We've got a knack for messed-up history
 Well, we went downtown and we sat in the rain
 Both looking one direction and waiting for a train
 And thought over, thought over
 I don't know you kept track
 I didn't know there was a score
 Well, it looks like you're the winner
 I ain't going to play no more
 It's over
 Game over
 Well, we walked real stiff
 And our canes tapped the ground
 You hit me with yours and said
 "You're going to stare me down"
 It's over
 Oh, it's over
 You can say what you want
 But don't act like you care
 It takes more than one person to decide what's fair
 It's over
 Think it over
 You were spitting venom at most everyone you know
 If the damned gave you a roadmap then you'd know just where to go
 So we carry all the groceries in
 While hauling out the trash
 And if this doesn't make us motionless
 I do not know what can
 So as to say
 "What a rotten thing to say!
 Such an awful thing to say!
 I didn't mean to bite you, sorry"
 What always did
 What always did
 What always had to slang
 So let it drop
 Let it all drop
 Let it all drop
 Oh, let it all fall off
 Let it drop
 Let it all drop
 Let it all drop
 Oh, let if all fall off
 Cheer up, baby
 It really wasn't always quite so bad
 For every bit of venom that came out
 The antidote was had
 Well, cheer up, baby
 It wasn't always quite so bad
 For every bit of venom that came out
 The antidote was had
 Cheer up, baby
 It wasn't really always quite so bad
 For every bit of venom that came out
 The antidote was had
 Cheer up, baby
 It wasn't always quite so bad
 For every bit of venom that came out
 The antidote was had
 Well, cheer up, baby
 It wasn't really always quite so bad
 For every bit of venom that came out
 The antidote was had
 Cheer up, baby
 It really wasn't always quite so bad
 Now, come on, baby
 For every bit of venom that came out
 The antidote was had
 Well, cheer up, baby
 It really wasn't quite so bad
 For every bit of venom that came out
 The antidote was had
 Cheer up
 Cheer up, baby
 It wasn't really always quite so bad
 For every bit of venom that came out
 The antidote was had
 Well, cheer up, baby
 It wasn't always quite so bad
 For every bit of venom that came out
 The antidote was had
 Well, cheer up, baby
 It wasn't always quite so bad
 For every bit of venom that came out
 The antidote was had
 Well, cheer up, baby
 It wasn't always quite so bad
 For every bit of venom that came out
 The antidote was had
 Well, cheer up, baby
 It wasn't really always quite so bad
 For every bit of venom that came out
 The antidote was had
 Cheer up, baby
 It wasn't always quite so bad
 For every bit of venom that came out
 The antidote was had
