Pencey Prep
8th Grade
[Verse 1]
Caught staring again
Like a deer in the headlights
When you can't move fast enough
I take a hit for the team

Pretty girl is blushing
I can't tell if she's disgusted
Laughter starts to swell
Someone gets the joke


Bells ring, I make my escape
Helps a little, but doesn't save
Beat down's a common thing
With us every day
Maybe I'm just strange
'Cause I don't change schools

So maybe I like the abuse
Or maybe I just like you

[Verse 2]
Another confrontation
You've got something to prove
Your girl can't tell how tough you are
When you beat me up in the boy's room!
Well I made a big mistake
But I can't help who I like
This may not cost my life
But I am branded forever lame

This was not my decision
You were born with good looks
And a solid right hook
Whining makes no difference

You bruised my eye
It doesn't hurt at all
One day I'll rise above
And you‘ll take a fall
(Motherfucker!)

I may be beat today
But I will survive
Get up off the ground
Stand tall and fight

My eyes, don't hurt at all
I‘d rather die
Then be your whipping boy

School year's almost over
Summer is one day closer
Summer is one day closer
Summer is one day closer
[Outro]
As God as my witness
I‘ll never be a victim again
