The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Walkin' down the road, tryin' to lose my load
Chick walks up to me and says "Man I feel so cold!"
Do I have to shout, get your sad ass out!
Freaks like you just make me sick, you leave me with no doubt
Dada's always drunk, he's a piece of junk
Beatin' up on his girl, actin' like a punk
Dada's always broke, can't afford the coke
The alcohol will choke, He's a freakin' joke!
Get a handle on it
Jimmy's gone to school, he had to keep his cool
Couldn't make the grade, they said he was a fool
Jimmy pulls his piece, "Everybody freeze!"
Miss Spencer tried to cool him down 1-2-trigger squeeze
Jimmy's in the jam, why, thank you Uncle Sam
You f**ked up my life, I take the blame, Oh my oh what a shame
"Wasted, that's what I am," Jimmy started to think
If this is what it takes to be a man, it f**kin' stinks
Get a handle on it
Jenny's gone to work, her boss is such a jerk
Pattin' Jenny on the butt he treats her like a perk
Jenny screams aloud, I may be well endowed
But you don't know y'right from wrong, you know that ain't allowed
Jenny's lost her job, just to execute a slob
Standin' up for her rights, it's "goodnight" Mr. Bob
The court was "fair and square," Jenny combs her hair
Everybody, step aside -- electric chair
Get a handle on it
