Be Your Own Pet (also known as BYOP) was a four-piece punk/garage rock group from Nashville, Tennessee, United States.
The band was signed to XL in the UK since 2005 and were later signed with Thurston Moore's label, Ecstatic Peace in the US. Be Your Own Pet originally released early singles and EPs with Nashville-based Infinity Cat Records.
All of the members of Be Your Own Pet are involved in various other musical projects. Jonas Stein and John Eatherly play together in a band called Turbo Fruits, along with their friend Max Peebles. Their debut album was released in 2006 in the UK and they also played at the Reading and Leeds Festivals in the summer of 2006. Nathan Vasquez plays in a band called Deluxin. Jemina Pearl also has side projects: although no longer a member of Cheap Time, she is notably a member of Rare Form. Former member Jamin Orrall plays in JEFF the Brotherhood, along with his brother Jake Orrall. Jake Orrall was never a member of Be Your Own Pet, although he is often mistakenly believed to have been.
You are a chainsaw through my heart
Rippin' right through me from the start
You make me go crazy all night long
I need you so bad, I know it's gotta be wrong
You get on my nerves
You make me so mad
It's times like these that I just can't stand
You're so far away, I can't hurt you now
I guess I'll just use myself like I know how
Rip out my hair
Wish that it's yours
Cut my own skin
Pretend that it's yours
Call you up in tears
Then you'll take back all the things that you said
And we can be ourselves once again
Goddamn how you make me scream and shout
I don't wanna run around my room and pout
But you make me do it
And I can't hardly stand it
You've got my heart
You know you've always had it
But now you're so far away
And there's no way to make you pay
So I'll go around my room and break anything I want
And in my head imagine breaking your heart
Rip out my hair
Wish that it's yours
Cut my own skin
Pretend that it's yours
Call you up in tears
You're such a tease
You're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
You're such a tease
You're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
You're such a tease
You're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
You're such a tease
You're such a jerk
Why do I waste my time?
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
I'll make you take back all the things that you said
And we can be ourselves once again
You are a chainsaw through my heart
Rippin' right through me from the start
You make me go crazy all night long
I need you so bad, I know it's gotta be wrong
You get on my nerves
You make me so mad
It's times like these that I just can't stand
You're so far away, and I can't hurt you now

Still cornfields roasting yellow in the sun
I've never had this much fun
I've never had my own gun
Bring in the choir, give the kids a Goddamn sign
Look us in the centre of our eyes
And tell me when I'm going to die
Put on your snowboots
You left behind the biggest trick
...? broken limbs
And you'll make us be better people
Today we'll harvest corn
And every three seconds when a baby is born
We'll imagine their faces
Ande the faces that they have won
Still cornfields roasting yellow in the sun
I've never had this much fun
I've never had my own gun
Bring in the choir, give the kids a Goddamn sign
Look us in the centre of our eyes
So how's your dude zone dude?
Oh why don't you go home?

My eyes so big, the color of the room
They believe they know things that they don't
Refresh all over like the world is new
Twist it 99 times like you'd ever been here before and well
It's a jungle in there, don't you see it?
Made of dirty shirts and stained jackets
I can tell the whole room is plotting against me
Speaking the language only objects can
I lost my mind, these little men stole it
You wouldn't believe in all the stuff this way
I met my evil half in the bathroom
Telling me secrets in the mirror
Well I'm on the floor, sticking it to the room
I might just be alone forever
They stink like sweat, I'm loose in all this mess
If I was crazy, I would have fun all the time!!!
Ain't it a jungle in there, don't you see it?
Made of dirty shirts and stained jackets
and I can tell the whole room is plotting against me
Speaking the language only objects can
Ain't it a jungle in there, don't you see it?
Made of dirty shirts and stained jackets
and I can tell the whole room is plotting against me
Speaking the language only objects can
Feeling quiet, too quiet, so quiet, oh so quiet!
So baby, amp me up! feel me loud!
Amp me up, hear me yell.
Hug a poster I'll put him in your favorites
We'll split up like a thousand miles
I'll split up like a thousand miles and miles and miles and miles.
I'm not a one dollar bill, I'm not a five dollar bill,
I'm not a ten dollar bill, I'm not a hundred dollar bill,
I'm a fucking a thousand dollar bill!
Hug a poster I'll put him in your favorites
We'll split up like a thousand miles
I'll split up like a thousand miles and miles and miles and miles.
Feel quiet, too quiet, so quiet, oh so quiet!
So baby, amp me up! feel me loud!
Amp me up, hear me yell!
Amp me up, hear me scream!
Amp me up, I'm feeling quiet, too quiet, so quiet, oh so quiet!
BFF and you're such a good friend
But I knew it couldn't last 'til summer's end
You signed my yearbook and that was pretty rad
And now I'm getting sick of you and it's just too bad
I heard you talked a lot of shit about me
To your new best friend
Doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class
But you know I gotta say
I really loved going to your slumber party
It's too bad you got so lame
You told my secrets and it caused me a lot of pain
I heard you talked a lot of shit about me
To your new best friend
Doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class
Now give me back all the clothes you borrowed
Don't give me bullshit, bring 'em to school tomorrow
I can't believe I told you all about my secret crush
I wish I could take it back now that you broke my trust
It was great how you made me a friendship bracelet
But I didn't know you made one for Becky's face lift
You now know everyone hates me a whole bunch
Just because I made you cry a little bit at lunch
But I don't feel bad
'Cause they don't know what we had
Doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class
We don't like Becky anymore
We don't like Becky anymore
We don't like Becky anymore
We don't like Becky anymore
Now I'm going to juvy for teenage homicide
It'll would've been cool if you stayed by my side
Then you'd know that you wouldn't have had to die
And now every single night I cry
If only what you wrote in my yearbook was true
Then I wouldn't be stuck in fucking cell block 2
But I don't regret what I've done
'Cause in the end it was fun
Doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class
Doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class

Thought you were the only fish in the sea
Thought you were the only fish in the sea
Thought you were the only leaf on my tree
Thought that you would miss me when we took that walk
Thought you were the only paint on my wall
But I was wrong, so wrong
Been thinking about this for far too long
And I'm tired, so tired
I'm tired of this Soho riot
And I was wrong, so wrong
Been thinking about this for far too long
And I'm tired, so tired
I'm tired of this Goddamn love riot
Thought you were the only lead in my pocket
Although you shot up like a damn rocket
Oh, please fall and break your eyesockets
I want your shotgun but you never got to cock it
And I was wrong, damn me
Been thinking about this far too long
And I hate it, this riot
All I wanted was the room at the Hyatt
And I was wrong, damn me
Been thinking about this far too long
And I hate it, this riot
All I wanted was the room at the Hyatt
Thought you were the only fish in the sea
Thought you were the only leaf on my tree
Thought that you would miss me when we took that walk
Thought you were the only paint on my wall
But I was wrong, so wrong
Been thinking about this far too long

You don't let me be, just steal me away.
Steal me away
Steal me away

Drinking Coca-Cola all night
Ooh baby, wanna get in a fight
Breaking glass bottles is oh so fun
Let's go and kill someone
Living in this city, I get so bored
Wanna kill myself on a telephone cord
I guess we could go drive around
What's the point in this town?
Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm living in a black hole
Sick of all the same lame faces
Oh, I'm stuck in a black hole
Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm living in a black hole
Tired and there's nowhere to go
Oh, I'm stuck in this black hole
Staying out 'til six in the morning
Trying to find something that's not boring
We could go party down the street
And show those kids to the beat
Eating pizza is really great
So is destroying everything you hate
I just wanna lose all control
[Incomprehensible] fucking hell hole
Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm living in a black hole
Sick of all the same lame faces
Oh, I'm stuck in a black hole
Always going back and forth
Ooh, I'm living in a black hole
Tired and there's nowhere to go
Oh, I'm stuck in this black hole
Drinking Coca-Cola all night
Ooh baby, wanna get in a fight
Breaking glass bottles is oh so fun
Let's go and kill someone
Living in this city I get so bored
Wanna kill myself on a telephone cord
I guess we could go drive around
Sparks by a rotten flame
I'm smart not to play this game
Sinning, take me to the moon
Backyard, I'm gonna see you soon
Shivers going up my spine
Kitty, it's only a matter of time
Born in the neighbours pool
I'm guilty by a rotten rule
Wanna get a cat my boyfriend wants a dog
We got into a fight I drowned him in the bog
I'm sorry
I'm not sorry!
I'm sorry
I'm not sorry!
I'm guilty, oh put me down
I'm on repeats and I'm going in jail
I'm guilty I'm going down
I'm on repeats and I'm going in jail
Sparks by a rotten flame
I'm smart not to play this game
Sinning, take me to the moon
Backyard, I'm gonna see you soon
Shivers going up my spine
Kitty, it's only a matter of time
Born in the neighbours pool
We're on two wheels baby
We're on two wheels baby
We will come to your town
Burn your house down
Turn the sky brown
All because, all because, all because
We're on two wheels baby
We're on two wheels baby
Change the eye color of every lady
We're fast, we're fast
We're fast we're having a blast
All because
We're on two wheels baby
We're on two wheels baby
Change the color of your make up
All the sleepyheads won't wear some
All because, all because, all because
Because, because, because, because
Because, because, because
[Incomprehensible]
Have fun and be safe with it
Just do it, mosh me up
We ride bikes, cars are for idiots
All because, all because
We're on two wheels baby
We're on two wheels baby
We're on two wheels baby
My other half wants to run away with me
It's too hot and too fast
If you tell him once just let it be
We don't want love, no love
And this ain't real like the ghost on the sea
Shut up and smile cos you just cut into me
And this ain't real like the ghost on the sea
Shut up and smile cos you just cut into me
And this ain't real, and this ain't real
And this ain't real like the ghost on the sea
If our emotions get to heavy to carry
All too hot and too fast
They won't know and we won't be sorry
We don't want love, no love
And this ain't real like the girls on TV
Shut up and smile as you just got into me
And this ain't real like those girls on TV
Shut up and smile as you just got into me
And this ain't real, and this ain't real
And this ain't real like those girls on TV
Tick tick, do that trick trick
Tick tick, now you're sick
Hide in the closet, we kiss
Neither of us feeling this
And this ain't real like the girls on TV
Shut up and smile as you just got into me
And this ain't real like those girls on TV
Shut up and smile as you just got into me
And this ain't real, and this ain't real
You know I love you like the sludge from my cow house city
Oh I love you like the sludge from my cow house city
I am wildcat
You are a worm
And we are chasing each other and taking turns
We aren't giving up, we aren't safe
And we are chasing each other all over the place
You know I love you like the sludge from my cow house city
Oh I love you like the sludge from my cow house city
I am wildcat
You are a worm
And we are chasing each other and taking turns
We aren't giving up, we aren't safe
I went down to the sunshine state
Got a haircut and came back late
Thing's are going everywhere
I'm doing stuff but I don't care
Everyone here is so uptight
I just wanna stay out all night
So what if I kill my head
I don't wanna go to bed
I've got nothing left to learn
I've only got more time to burn
I'll drink your stuff then puke it up
Can't you tell I don't give a fuck
I don't wanna fight and shout
Go ahead and kick me out
You can keep my tv
And all that stuff that belongs to me
Everyone here is so uptight
I just wanna stay out all night
So what if I kill my head
I don't wanna go to bed
FREE THE BEAST! (repeated)
Everyone here is so uptight
I just wanna stay out all night
So what if I kill my head
I don't wanna go to bed
Everyone here is so uptight
I just wanna stay out all night
So what if I kill my head
I don't wanna go to bed
Things aren't pretty in New Detroit
So go ahead and get to the point
There's nothing up my sleeve
Take a hint, bitches leave
Things aren't pretty in New Detroit
So go ahead and get to the point
And there's nothing up my sleeve
Take a hint, bitches leave
You've got a make up face and perfect hair
Walking around counting all your stares
Think you're really clever in your skintight jeans
Like you're the hottest chick on the scene
You're gonna ask what he thinks of you
Like I even care or have a clue
Things aren't pretty in New Detroit
So go ahead and get to the point
And there's nothing up my sleeve
Take a hint, bitches leave
Things aren't pretty in New Detroit
So go ahead and get to the point
There's nothing up my sleeve
Take a hint, bitches leave
You laugh and giggle like you haven't got a brain
The way you talk is driving me insane
I know you're lying 'bout you take it in the rear
You name drop so much I wanna rip off my ears
Do you think anyone wants you to stay?
How'd you get back here anyway?
Things aren't pretty in New Detroit
So go ahead and get to the point
There's nothing up my sleeve
Take a hint, bitches leave
Things aren't pretty in New Detroit
So go ahead and get to the point
There's nothing up my sleeve

My cover is broken
And I hate you [x2]
I'm gonna love you love you love you
I'm gonna hate you hate you hate you

Right up the wall to the darkest place
It gets so dark when we're below the waist
We are the knowing oh yes we know it all
We will vacation, you will be my parasol
Vacation says, vacation says
We have to be good to each other
We have to be so good to each other
We have to lend our support
Right up the wall to the darkest place
It gets so dark when we're below the waist
We are the knowing oh yes we know it all
We will vacation, you will be my parasol
Play my piano I will lend you a hand
What aggravates you will be my demand
It's not impossible to burn this place down
Without your wings we can burn this place down
Right up the wall to the darkest place
It gets so dark when we're below the waist
We are the knowing oh yes we know it all
We will vacation, you will be my parasol
Right up the wall to the darkest place
It gets so dark when we're below the waist
Right up the wall to the darkest hole
Feeling quiet, too quiet, so quiet, oh so quiet!
So baby, amp me up! feel me loud!
Amp me up, hear me yell.
Hug a poster I'll put him in your favorites
We'll split up like a thousand miles
I'll split up like a thousand miles and miles and miles and miles.
I'm not a one dollar bill, I'm not a five dollar bill,
I'm not a ten dollar bill, I'm not a hundred dollar bill,
I'm a fucking a thousand dollar bill!
Hug a poster I'll put him in your favorites
We'll split up like a thousand miles
I'll split up like a thousand miles and miles and miles and miles.
Feel quiet, too quiet, so quiet, oh so quiet!
So baby, amp me up! feel me loud!
Amp me up, hear me yell!
Amp me up, hear me scream!
It's the same four walls that have always been
Just sitting in my room that I haven't lived in
And I feel so completely changed
But everything around me is exactly the same
I'm not the girl that I was before
Feel like I'm lying each time I walk through the door
Sleeping in my own bed feels like a sin
It's hard to sink back into my life again
The walls are empty
Floors are messy like I left them
But now it seems I'm going in a different direction
I can't believe I'm a stranger in my own room
Feel like nothing is mine
And it all belongs to you
I'm not the girl that I was before
Feel like I'm lying each time I walk through the door
Sleeping in my own bed feels like a sin
It's hard to sink back into my life again
The clothes are all scattered through my room
Just like my memories of you
I want to tell you what I've done
But the tears in your eyes are beginning to run
I wanted to love you like I said I would
I know you don't believe me but I tried to be good
Now I feel trapped in a room that's not mine
Looking at all the things you left behind
It's strange to go through so much
Then come home to the all the same old stuff
I'm not the girl that I was before
Feel like I'm lying each time I walk through the door
Sleeping in my own bed feels like a sin
It's hard to sink back into my life again
I'm not the girl that I was before
Feel like I'm lying each time I walk through the door
Sleeping in my own bed feels like a sin
It's hard to sink back into my life again
I'm not the girl that I was before
I'm not the girl that I was before
My eyes so big, the color of the room
They believe they know things that they don't
Refresh all over like the world is new
Twist it 99 times like you'd ever been here before and well
It's a jungle in there, don't you see it?
Made of dirty shirts and stained jackets
I can tell the whole room is plotting against me
Speaking the language only objects can
I lost my mind, these little men stole it
You wouldn't believe in all the stuff this way
I met my evil half in the bathroom
Telling me secrets in the mirror
Well I'm on the floor, sticking it to the room
I might just be alone forever
They stink like sweat, I'm loose in all this mess
If I was crazy, I would have fun all the time!
Ain't it a jungle in there, don't you see it?
Made of dirty shirts and stained jackets
and I can tell the whole room is plotting against me
Speaking the language only objects can
Ain't it a jungle in there, don't you see it?
Made of dirty shirts and stained jackets
and I can tell the whole room is plotting against me
Put my beat down through the floor,
Shoot that bugger out the door,
Electric shake it down and out,
And freakin' dance till we're no whores
Kick my beat down through the floor,
Shoot that bugger out the door
Electric shake it down and out
And freakin' dance no we're no whores
Oh 6-2-3 now don't judge we're spittin' our sleaze across the safety
No new ideas they're all the same here
And then shake your shit and open your ears
Oh 6-2-3 now don't judge me we're spittin' our sleaze across the safety
No new ideas they're all the same here
And then shake your shit and open your ears
Put my beat down through the floor,
Shoot that bugger out the door,
Electric shake it down and out,
And freakin' dance till we're no whores
Kick my beat down through the floor,
Shoot that bugger out the door
Electric shake it down and out
And freakin' dance no we're no whores
Oh 6-2-3 now don't judge we're spittin' our sleaze across the safety
No new ideas they're all the same here
And then shake your shit and open your ears
Oh 6-2-3 now don't judge me we're spittin' our sleaze across the safety
No new ideas they're all the same here
And then shake your shit and open your ears
Let you kick up and down, let you shake down and out
Let you kick up and down, and then shake us down and then shake us down.
Oh 6-2-3 now don't judge me we're spittin' our sleaze across the safety
No new ideas they're all the same here
And then shake your shit and open your ears
Oh 6-2-3 now don't judge me we're spittin' our sleaze across the safety
No new ideas they're all the same here
I'm in a band now,
we're called The Carrie Nations!
Man, you'll see,
we're really goin' places!
We took our act down to LA
and met Z-Man at the party
It could be dangerous
living in this valley!
Everybody here parties all the time!
Everybody here's got sex on their minds!
It could be dangerous
living in this valley!
Everybody here parties all the time!
Everybody here's got sex on their minds!
Everybody here is popping pills!
I got a dream and
it's gonna come true!
See, now, we're mega stars!
Bigger than you!
Take things one at a time
And just relax!
Get some acid, or smoke some grass!
It could be dangerous
Living in this valley!
Everybody here parties all the time!
Everybody here's got sex on their minds!
It could be dangerous
Living in this valley!
Everybody here parties all the time!
Everybody here's got sex on their minds!
Everybody here is popping pills!
"BENTLEY! Rawwrr! Nothing like a ROLLS! ROLLS!"
It could be dangerous
It could be dangerous
It could be dangerous
living in this valley!
Everybody here parties all the time!
Everybody here's got sex on their minds!
A stairway to heaven...
Lean on my shoulder, lean on my shoulder

Lean on my shoulder, lean on my shoulder
And share a bed with me
Lean on my shoulder, lean on my shoulder
I want another year older
Lean on my shoulder, lean on my shoulder

Get this something out of my head
There's too much shit going on my brain
Hurry hurry hurry hurry

Whatever whatever whatever whatever
I know I know you know you're clever
So seduce me, introduce me
On the list you've had forever
My brain is on fire, my brain is on fire
So whisper in my ear
When it's all over, when it's all over
You can come and kiss me right here
My brain is on fire, my brain is on fire
So whisper in my ear
When it's all over, when it's all over
My lip bleeds in rememberance of you
Thoughts tumble out- calling out for you
My lip bleeds in rememberance of you
Thoughts tumble out- calling out for you
Just ### it up, forget about these longings
Pains that ate my heart, hide them over, sit up.
Just ### it up, forget about these longings
Pains that ate my heart, hide them over, sit up.
My throat swells in desire of you
Useless sorry scream thinking there for you
My throat swells in desire of you
Useless sorry sceram thinking there for you
Just ### it up, forget about these longings
Pains that ate my heart, hide them over, sit up.

Pains that ate my heart, hide them over, sit up
You got me on a leash, a damn damn leash
And it's hard enough to be myself
You got me on a leash, a damn damn leash
And it's hard enough to be myself
Well I've got my problems over here
You got yours over there
So stop throwing shit on me
Because you know it's not fair
Stop dragging me around, around and around
Because it's hard enough to be my damn self
Stop dragging me around, around and around
Because it's hard enough to be my damn self
Around, around, around, around...
Well I've got my problems over here
You got yours over there
So stop throwing shit on me
Because you know it's not fair
You got me on a leash, a damn damn leash
And it's hard enough to be my damn self
You got me on a leash, a damn damn leash
I wanted so bad to be your girl, I tried
Thinking 'bout all the lonely nights I cried
I look back, what a waste of time
I should've realized I couldn't change your mind
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
Cause I've been trying to fix mine from the start
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
Cause I've been trying to fix mine from the start
Now that it's over you act so shocked
Guess you never listened all the times I talked
I gave you countless chances
You never seemed to care
Treated me like trash
You thought I'd always be there
You're telling lies to everyone who will listen
You want so bad to be the victim
But what you've got to see
Is our relationship and breakup is not a competition
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
Cause I've been trying to fix mine from the start
Now you're acting like Mister Perfect
Can't figure out what you did to deserve it
I was not the only one to do things wrong
You've been a dick to me all along
I know what I did was pretty rotten
Now it's like everything you did is forgotten
Go ahead and tell your sob story
All I have to say about it is "blow me"
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
Cause I've been trying to fix mine from the start
Now I'm glad you've got a broken heart
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
And in the heart of Nepal we ran into trouble
When thieves caught sight of our elegant rubble
They ransacked our camp without saying goodnight
Okay, so yeah, but it was cool
Cuz we're like, adventurers
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
We've been to every place anywhere in the world
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
We are adventuring we are adventurers
Deep in the fall it was blazing hot
Below the equators the sunlight would start
We've travelled through jungles and tigers we've fought
But it's all cool, you know
Cuz we're like, adventurers
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
We've been to every place anywhere in the world
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
Castles and causeways and monasteries and hideaways
Castles and causeways and monasteries and hideaways
Castles and causeways and monasteries and hideaways
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
We've been to every place anywhere in the world
We are adventuring, we are adventurers
Oh and it's such fun with all these sights we've seen
Oh and it's such fun with all these sights we've seen
Oh and it's such fun with all these sights we've seen
I will bring anything for three
With a dusty smile and a loaded gun
You ask me again, whats in it for me?
Well thanks and tell me come undone
Painted red, our hands are white
I've never seen this place before
Seen through, we're on our way
Through and through each bolted door
Driving us down for it's chase
And we run any day we'll skip town
It'll never hear us come
Driving us down for it's chase
And we run any day we'll skip town
It'll never hear us come
Wont you help me out? Won't you please help me figure it all out?
We've cut ourselves open a hundred times
We've cut ourselves open a hundred times
But we're not out of ammo yet
But we're not out of ammo yet
Oh now no, won't you help me out? Won't you please help me figure it all out?
We've cut ourselves open a hundred times
We've cut ourselves open a hundred times
But we're not out of ammo yet, not yet
But we're not out of ammo yet, not yet
Driving us down for it's chase
And we run any day we'll skip town
It'll never hear us come
Driving us down for it's chase
And we run any day we'll skip town
It'll never hear us come
Driving us down for it's chase
And we run any day we'll skip town
It'll never hear us come
Driving us down for it's chase
And we run any day we'll skip town
Stand down, beat it in, eyes closed tight
It was cold last year when you blocked me out
Our ships went down on that night
These hearts were drowning but you bought me out
This time I'm held up by a safety pin
Safety pin oh a safety pin
Stuck and sewn up like a mannequin
A mannequin, mannequin, mannequin
You can call the god damn fire department
That's the last time I'll ever let you in
You can call the god damn fire department
That's the last time I'll ever let you in
Carve out, belt up, I can see
You see me drowning but you block me out
Our ships were sunk on that night
These hearts were drowning but you bought me out
This time I'm held up by a safety pin
Safety pin oh a safety pin
Stuck and sewn up like a mannequin

Cause that's the last time I'll ever let you in
Just don't, just don't even use you damn lungs

Bloodshot eyes and I look up
You take the water from my lungs to fill your cup
This is no longer fair
This is no longer fair
This is no longer fair
This is no longer fair!
This time I'm held up by a safety pin
Safety pin oh a safety pin
Stuck and sewn up like a mannequin

I don't wanna get blown like a problem
Teeny tiny tiny little problem
Recovering in spruced up bathrooms
Well they aren't really a problem
We all have holes in our socks
And Bad Brains totally rocks
Went to the park and they wouldn't let us in
Went to the film and they wouldn't let us in
Went to the news and they wouldn't let us in
Burn them all down so we can get in
Went to the film and they wouldn't let us in
Went to the news and they wouldn't let us in
Went to the park and they wouldn't let us in
Burn them all down so we can get in
You take a twelve year old
And break his arms twice
Party for real this time
Party for real
Party for real this time
Party for real
Everyone thinks that you're so cool
Too bad I hate you all as much as I hate school
Throw you a book and flunk a test
Cuz you're a loser like all of the rest
Goin' to school is a waste of time
I'd rather sit around and blow my mind
I'm sure you're happy bein there
You've got so many friends you're such a square
I just wanna blow my mind
Get stoned and wasted all the time
I just wanna blow your mind
Kill every single one of your kind
Everyone thinks that you're so cool
Too bad I hate you as much as I hate school
Throw you a book and flunk a test
Bummer time! Bummer time!
It's bummer time!
BUMMER!
[X4]
I'd think about you all week long
My mind constantly singing your theme song
And did you know I looked up to you?
I wanna be just like you!
No one knows how it was for me
No one knows what you meant to me
Everyone talks about it like they were there
Oh there's a soundtrack but nobody cares!
Everyone talks about it like they were there
Oh there's a soundtrack but nobody cares!
I woke up early just for you!
I waited all week long for you too
And there you were on my TV
It's like you were there just for me!
Bummer time! Bummer time!
It's bummer time!
BUMMER!
[X4]
When the time came I'd play along
I didn't know that you'd soon be gone
And now you're back... What can I say?
I can't even look at you the same way!
No one knows how it was for me
No one knows what you meant to me
Everyone talks about it like they were there
Oh there's a soundtrack but nobody cares!
Everyone talks about it like they were there
Oh there's a soundtrack but nobody cares!
I woke up early just for you!
I waited all week long for you too
And there you were on my TV
It's like you were there just for me!
