Lyrics

4th Grade Dropout

[Intro]

The chain linked fence

Surrounds the feeble child

Gag your mouth

To hear sweet melodies

To hear sweet melodies

[Bridge]

Lifted your hand to swing

To swing the chair

To swing the chair

Pounding my brain

Love her and tell her

Fuck her and smell her

Don't fall for it

Don't fall for me (For me)

Don't fall for me (For me)

[Interlude]

Don't fall for me

I told you not to

Fuck her

[Outro]

Don't fall for me

Fall child

One more thing

Kiss my lips and make me fly

Just one more thing

I told you not to fall for it

Kiss my lips and make me fly!

Just one more thing

Just fuck her

Fuck her

To swing the chair

Love her and tell her

Fuck her

Fuck her

Kiss my lips and make me fly!

Kiss my lips and make me fly!
