Hey! i'm only fourteen

Sickly 'n' thin

Tried all of my life

Just to grow me a chin

It popped out once

But my dad pushed it in

Why did he hurt me?

He's my next of kin...

He's a mex-i-kin

I'm lonely 'n' green

Too small for my shirt

If simmons was here

I could feature my hurt

Scared of the future

Hope i don't grow

I know nobody likes me
'cause everywhere i go

They say no

They say no

They say no

Now i'm older

Got a place in the town, babe

Got a chin on my shoulder
'n' it keeps growing down 'n' down 'n' down

I'm horny 'n' lonely
'n' i wish i was dead

Why am i livin'?

I wanna be dead instead

That's right, i said

I wanna be dead instead

Now dig this:

I wanna be dead

In bed

Please kill me
'cause that would thrill me

I wanna be dead

In bed

Please kill me
'cause that would thrill me
(etc, repeat)
