You gotta understand You're not my ideal of supreme You gotta understand You're not the cheerleader of my dreams Give me a mask that I can wear There's no reality I can share An empty shell filling with hate Screaming for help before it's too late You gotta understand You're not my ideal of supreme You gotta understand Things aren't always what they seem Give me a mask that I can wear There's no reality I can share Crystal and bourbon sculpt a new mind Under the makeup there's nothing to find Give me a mask that I can wear There's no reality I can share An empty shell filling with hate Screaming for help before it's too late A scary existence marked with despair Under the surface the facade will tear Xanax and Prozac sculpt a new mind Under the makeup there's nothing to find

Life's dragging me down Rub my face in to the ground I've lost all my friends When will it end I'm spinning around I'm going down fast I bring up hatred from the past Lying awake in a gutter at night There's no justice It's not right It's not right it's not right It's not right Take my face, put it to the ground Put a shovel to my neck I won't make a sound I can't take the pain so what's a boy to do It's a useless life A painless future I can not see I pray at night gods release me Wheels keep turning but going nowhere In pain, write check, I can not care I'm spinning around I'm going down fast Still bringing up hatred from the past There's no justice It's not right It's not right it's not right It's not right Take my face, put it to the ground Put a shovel to my neck I won't make a sound I can't take the pain so what's a boy to do It's a useless life

She was something special I saw her standing there Shiny black purse and her long blonde hair A vision of a future together Running through my head She looked at me And this is what she said Put on your pants you freak Put on your pants you freak Put on your pants you freak Put on your pants you freak She turns away from me And starts to walk away I plead with her please stay stay stay Knowing she may go for good Fills my heart with dread And then she turned to me And this is what she said Put on your pants you freak Put on your pants you freak Put on your pants you freak Put on your pants you freak Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Put on your pants you freak Put on your pants you freak Put on your pants you freak Put on your pants you freak
