Kids Don't Try This At Home

Got one of those headaches again
And feel like sticking a scalpel
Into that temple vein
Uh-oh

If some blood squirts out
If the gash is wide
Perhaps the pressure and pain will subside
Uh-oh

Kids, don't try this at home
No

Yeah, I've been torturing bugs
When I was a child
Running wild
Crying loud

Making songs
Since I was five
The band in my head
Would play them live

My grades were exceptional
Folks they called me genius
They had plans for me
Enter misery

Mi-misery

They had plans for me
And don't ask me why
But get this
So did I

Kids, don't try this at home
No, no, no

Yeah, years of strife
They ruined my life
I'm crying loud
Running wild

Making songs
And I won't stop
A band of demons
Is backing me up

They got me all contained, you know
They got me all restrained, you know
They keep me here
But
Where else could I go
Where else could I go

Yeah, I must appreciate the management
Because of this arrangement
Pills and thrills
And I
Don't even pay the rent
No, I don't pay the rent

The album sales are up, you know
Nurses call me genius
They know what I crave
Some of them shave

Kids, don't try this at home
No, no, no

No
