Dead On The Inside
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.
Joey: "I wish I wasn't so insecure with my masculinity...maybe
Then I wouldn't have to talk about raping women and commiting
Suicide, or wear this stupid mask to shock little kids and make
Myself feel more hardcore and powerful. The truth is, we only
Care about two things...$MONEY$ and...CHEESE."
This morning I woke up and everything was gray,
I tried to slit my wrists and throat,
With this piece of extra sharp cheddar I founf in my bed,
Then I realized that there's one thing that makes this life,
Worth living...and that's nothing,
Nothing but cheese...
Fuck everything (except cheese)
I hate my life (but I love cheese)
I wish I was dead (if it wasn't for cheese)
I'm so hardcore (and so is cheese)
I'm only living for the cheese
The cheese that keeps me going
Fresh Mozzerella and sweet Parmasean
Once I cut myself on the lawn
And then I founf something that made me smile
And it was cheese...cheese...CHEESE!
Fuck you and fuck your family too
I hate you all, I hate everything
I'm so cool and deep and twisted
But I'm nothing without the cheese
The cheese that gives me a reason to
Get up in the morning...to move on with my life
And I just don't know if I can take this
I don't want to live another second
I'm gonna rape you, yall best be scared
Because I'm a tough badass
But don't hurt yourself
Because then I'd get sued
And MTV would break their contract with me
And I'd have no money
Not even cheese
FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK FUCK
I HATE EVERYTHING
THE CHEESE!
THE CHEESE!
GOD DAMMIT THE CHEESE!
