Scalpel, Sponge
Wait, he's convulsing
He convulsing
Were gonna have to shock him
Were gonna have to shock him
These are the results of a thousand electric volts
A neck with bolts
Nurse we're losing him, check the pulse
A kid who refused to respect adults
Wore spectacles with taped frames and a freckled nose
A corny looking white boy scrawny and always ornery
Cause I was always sick of brawny bullies picking on me
And I might snap, one day just like that
I decided to strike back
And flattened every tire on the bike rack
My first day in junior high
This kid said
It's you and I
3 o'clock sharp this afternoon you die
I looked at my watch it was 1:20
I already gave you my lunch money
What more do you want from me?
He said
Don't try to run from me, you'll just make it worse
My palms were sweaty and I started to shake at first
Something told me
Try to fake a stomach ache, it works
I screamed
Ow, my appendix feels like it could burst
Teacher, teacher, quick i need a naked nurse
What's the matter?
I don't know, my leg, it hurts
Leg, I thought you said it was your tummy?
Oh, I mean it is, but I've also got a bum knee
Mr. Mathers, the fun and games are over
And just for that stunt
You're gonna get some extra homework
But don't you wanna give me after school detention?
Naw, that bully wants to beat your ass
And I'm gonna let him
Brain Damage
Ever since the day I was born
Drugs are what they used to say I was on
They say I never knew which way I was going
But everywhere I go they keep playing my song
REPEAT
Way before my baby daughter Hallie
I was harrassed daily by this fat kid
Named D'Angelo Bailey
An eighth grader who acted obnoxious
Because his father boxes
So every day hed shove me into the lockers
One day he came in the bathroom while I was pissin'
And had me in the position
To beat me into submission
He banged my head against the urinal
Till he broke my nose
Soaked my clothes in blood
Grabbed me and choked my throat
I tried to plead and tell him we shouldn't be
But he just wouldn't leave
He kept choking me and I couldn't breathe
He looked at me and said
You gonna die honky
The principal walked in
And started helping him stomp me
I made em think they'd beaten me to death
Holding my breath for like 5 minutes
Before they finally left
Then I got up and ran to the janitor's storage room
Kicked the door kinges loose
And ripped out the 4 inch screws
Grabbed some sharp objects, brooms and foreign tools
This is for every time you took my orange juice
Or stole my seat in the lunchroom
Or drank my chocolate milk
Every time you tipped my tray
And it dropped and it spilled
I'm gettin you back bully
Now once and for good
I cocked the broomstick back
And swung hard as I could
I beat him over the head with it
Till I broke the wood
Knocked him down and stood on his chest with one foot
Made it home later that same day
Started reading the comics
And suddenly everything became gray
I couldn't even see what I was trying to read
I went deaf and my left ear started to bleed
My mother started screaming
What are you, on drugs?
Look at you you're getting blood all over my rug
She beat me over the head with a remote control
Opened a hole and my whole brain fell out of my skull
I picked it up and sreamed
Look, bitch, what have you done?
Oh my god, I'm sorry son
Shut up you cunt
I said fuck it
took it and stuck it back up in my head
Then I sewed it shut
And put a couple of screws in my neck
REPEAT CHORUS 2X
Brain damage
It's brain damage
I've got brain damage
Brain damage
It's probably brain damage
It's brain damage
I've got brain damage
