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.

It's the sociopaths that scare me

Not the fall of my local bank

At least they're only burning money

They won't be laughing as they're chopping off my hands

One day I'll learn to box clever

And beat the past back in its place

I'll never get rid of this false endeavor

But I'll wipe the grin off its dirty little face

I'll wipe the grin off its dirty little face

Why wait till the summertime

Just to say goodbye

You're so infuriating

Why wait till the summertime

To hand me a p45

Was I that infuriating?

Was I that infuriating?

God knows that I don't hate you

But one day I must learn how to

The next I'll learn exactly how to put up a fight

It's not the Illuminati that scares me

It's the people further down in the ranks

The creatures like you that are so controlling

As to lead a God fearing boy up the devils path

Why would you lead a God fearing boy up the devil's path

Why wait till the summertime

Just to say goodbye

You're so infuriating

Why wait till the summertime

To deflate my legal high

Was I that infuriating?

Was I that infuriating?

One day I'll learn how to box clever

And beat the wrong doers away

I wear no mask or tight polyester

But you can rest assure that I'm on a little caped crusade

You can rest assure that I'm on a little caped crusade

Why wait till the summertime

Just to say goodbye

You're so infuriating

Why wait till the summertime

To hand me a p45

Was I that infuriating?

Was I that infuriating?

God knows that I don't hate you

But one day I must learn how to

The next I'll learn exactly how to put up a fight
