Lyrics

I know you had a fucked up life
Growing up in a stupid town
Your mother was a mixed-up jerk
And your father he just fucked around
A little too much for his own good
I'll kill the bastard if I could
Kill all the boys with their fucked-up noise
And all the bullshit they seemed to enjoy
The kids at school called you 'slut', nothing but
What the fuck are they into, those stupid fools
Loser assholes suck all the luck out of the world
The world for you
If I can get it back to you I will
And kick their asses all over town, all over town
I'll turn it over
I don't even know you that well
What the hell, it's summer's spell

What's it like going out
And no one knows what you're about
Abused and used and cut in two
By hollow men with nothing to do
Laugh all the time and try to get high
And try to hide behind no lie
They fucked your head up, that's for sure
Your heart is ripped, now wrapped in fur
But you know that sex is pretty insane
And magic seems to kill the pain
And the things that go on inside your brain
Make you seem to think that you're to blame
Don't think about it, throw it out
Love 'em all and say it loud
Fight the scumbags who slapped you around
Scream you're crazy lost and found
And we don't have to tell you what is right
We have all the faith in what's not right
Sadness is and sadness was
And sadness will always be because
Comfort comes around from the strangest of men
I got no time for sad songs, baby
Don't need you to say I'm crazy
Stick your tongue and you look at me
And I will bite it off, you see
Push you down onto your knees
Do you laugh away the sleaze?
You're not the only girl in town
But you're the only one that's got me down
Psychic hearts go out to you
Psychic hearts glow right to you

My prayer to you is that you do all the things you set out to do
And live your life the way you love
But will you remember one thing for me?
I will always love you
I will always love you
