Record Body Count
Joey pulled himself to his knees,
Pulled his body back up the bank
and looked back down there
Said the water was not that deep,
But I almost drowned there
You can drown in a bathtu
So they say
Someone in class called me a loser
So I decided to skip the day
(hey hey) skip the day
Tried to look casual sneakin round the back
As I shotput across the track
Into the gate beside the portables
But a red tie and school gray slacks
Doesn't blend in with the grass
As the teacher was changing class
He chased me half way through the park
Till I ran into the woods
Then I'm (very good) in THE WOODS!
So I was an Indian
The player by the creek
And dried my eyes there
There's a record body count this year
There's a record body count THIS YEAR!
Joey stepped up on a block of ice,
Put a rope around his neck
Fell asleep before he died
