Turnin' On The Screw
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.
You got a question? Please don't ask it
It puts the lotion in the basket
You say bigger's better but bigger's bigger
White boy dressed up like a
Figure drawn inside a toilet on the wall
The world is round,
My square don't fit at all
They say those who can't just instruct others
& act like victims or jilted lovers
You can't lose it if you never had it
Disappear man. Do some magic
You want a reason ? How is about because
You ain't a has been if you never was
I sound like this
Scared to say what is your passion
So slag it all
Bitter's in fashion
Fear of failure's all you've started
The jury is in, verdict:
Retarded,
I'm so tired, I'm wired too
I'm a mess
I guess I'm turning on the screw
