[Intro: Cedric Bixler-Zavala]
I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N
I'll follow you home after every show

[Verse 1: Cedric Bixler-Zavala]
Perforated into tiny fragments
Heavy breathing's your new fan club
John Hancock with the safety off
After every show
And how his pedestal fits like glove
Such a pity, I built no ladder from the roots
And above I'll be hacking off
After every show

[Chorus: Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Jim Ward]
I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N
Initiation
I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N
Initiation
I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N
Initiation
What!
What you doing?
We outside never win
Initiation
Parting contestants never win
What!
What you doing?
We outside never win
Initiation
Parting contestants never seem to win
[Verse 2: Cedric Bixler-Zavala, with Jim Ward]
Watch you clap your hands by the stage
Lend me your ears for just another page
In the book that your friend signed yesterday
When I told you not to bother to holler
Your telephone's the one that helped
Me wrap the cord around your neck
You know, you're beautiful when you're
Dead!

[Chorus: Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Jim Ward]
I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N
Initiation
I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N
Initiation
I-N-I-T-I-A-T-I-O-N
Initiation
What!
What you doing?
We outside never win
Initiation
Parting contestants never win
What!
What you doing?
We outside never win
Initiation
Parting contestants never seem to win
