She throws back her hair [hands] and she shows you her mouth

The breath that i waste trying to ruin your life

Beauty's on a budget but you take it on the chin

'cause you have to do your duty taking orders from the kingpin

You've got a chemistry class i want a piece of your mind

You don't know what you started when you mixed it up with mine

Are you ready for the final solution? oh. oh.

[they] chopped you up in butcher's school

Threw you out of the academy of garbage

You'll be a joker all your life

A student at the comedy college

People pleasing people pleasing people like you

You've been around so long but you still don't know what to do

Chorus

Sparks are flying from electrical pylons

Snakes and ladders running up and down her nylons

Ready to experiment, you're ready to be burned

If it wasn't for some accidents then some would never ever learn

Chorus
