Lyrics[edit]
I wake up everyday on The wrong side of the bed But I won't lay down on the floor Like I'm the whore in your head Call me a failure Pretender, sex-offender, infector Say I killed all my friends And I deserve to be dead. Kiss baby kiss Bang baby bang Suck baby suck It's Vodevil Kiss baby kiss Bang baby bang Suck baby suck It's Vodevil This isn't music and we're not a band We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand This isn't music and we're not a band We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand I won't pull out I just came I want all of the blame your love is tin, faith is thin No concept of pain, right to complain All you fagazines, senile teens Jaw me black ball me Deejay yourself away and turn your back It will be easier to stab Kiss baby kiss Bang baby bang Suck baby suck It's Vodevil Kiss baby kiss Bang baby bang Suck baby suck It's Vodevil This isn't music and we're not a band We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand This isn't music and we're not a band We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand VIP ADD TRD violent shiny hate crime "Total Requested Dead" it's Version point (less) downloadable suicide. The only ones left standing are the ones not demanding This isn't a show, this is my fucking life I'm not ashamed you're entertained But I'm not a puppet I am a grenade I'm not ashamed you're entertained But I'm not a puppet I am a grenade Kiss baby kiss Bang baby bang Suck baby suck It's Vodevil Kiss baby kiss Bang baby bang Suck baby suck It's Vodevil This isn't music and we're not a band We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand This isn't music and we're not a band We're 5 middle fingers on a motherfucking hand
