Thirty Whacks lyrics

Thirty licks with a belt - same old tricks on myself
And I wonder does everyone else live this way
A succession of tests a triumphant success
Each time I'm still intact at the end of the day

Thirty drops in a glass - keep my temper and pass
With my breath held you bast*rds you lucked out again!
It's not really so bad, there's still mom there's still
Damage to do before they wrest the axe from my hands

It's no mystery: you should obviously go
Before I break everything
You're always telling me that you're dying to know
But you're not really listening

How do I manage to station myself in harms way
And only get hit with a ticket for loitering
That I have no way to pay - and no strength to argue
My personal demons can scheme with professional care
Oh, god, they're after me
If I could shut them out just for a second
I swear
I could stop this catastrophe

Thirty day guarantee
But they can't have meant me
After all I was born to a childproof world
No sharp corners or glass
Small objects or plastic bags
Please, these are death to a delicate girl
It's no mystery - you should obviously know
That I'll destroy everything
So don't go telling me that you're dying to know
Cause you'll get what you're asking for

And I still manage to station my self in harm's way
And only get hit with a ticket for loitering
Stating I came the wrong day
Now all the demons are screaming their wages aren't fair
I've left a secret kept
If I could shut them up just for a second I swear
It'll look like an accident
I could be decent yet
The magnificent end
I could be president....
