Lyrics

Lead

Lead, dead as lead

Rainin'  lead all over me

Lead,  I'm as dead as lead

Rainin' lead all over, lead all over me

Tell me why

Tell  me why, life has passed me by

My  brain is dead

Rainin' lead, it's rainin' lead all over me

Please  tell me why

Lead is pickin' on me

Lead, I'm as dead as lead

Rainin' lead all through my veins

Lead,  so they said

Made me anti-social, completely impossible

Tell me why

It took so long to recognize

Why it's rainin' lead, why it's rainin' lead

Why it's rainin' lead all over me

Please tell me why

Lead keeps pickin' on me

I'm feelin' stupid (repeat x3)

You can't blame it on me

It's in my water (repeat x3)

You can't blame it on me

For feelin' stupid

Don't call me stupid

For feelin' stupid

You can't blame it on me

It's in my water (repeat x4)

Lead, dead as lead

Rainin' lead all over me

Lead, I'm as dead as lead

Rainin' lead all over, lead all over me

Tell me why (Tell me why)

It took so long to recognize

Why it's rainin' lead

Why it's rainin' lead

Why it's rainin' lead all over me

Please tell me why

Lead keeps pickin' on me

Dead as lead

I'm as dead as lead (repeat x6)
