Intro: / A - (A7) - / - - - - / x4 (w/main riff)

 

(w/main riff x4):

At home drawing pictures Of mountain tops

With him on top Lemon yellow sun

Arms raised in a V

And the dead lay in pools of maroon below

 

Pre-Chorus (w/pre-chorus riff x2):

Daddy didn't give attention

Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care

King Jeremy The Wicked

Ruled his world

(w/main riff x4):

Clearly I remember pickin' on the boy

Seemed a harmless little fuck

But we unleashed a lion gnashed his teeth

and bit the recess lady's breast How could I forget?

 

And he hit me with a surprise left

My jaw left hurting dropped wide open

Just like the day

Oh, like the day I heard

 

Pre-Chorus (w/pre-chorus riff x2):

Daddy didn't give affection, no!

And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear

King Jeremy The Wicked

Ruled his world
