Verse:

B A E B

Your rise and fall, back up against the wall

B A E B

What goes around is coming back and haunting you

B A E B

It's time to quit, cause you ain't worth the sh*t

B A E B

Under my shoes or the piss on the ground

Chorus: (down strumming, then up-down, then down)

A

No one loves you and you know it

E B

Don't pretend that you enjoy it, or you don't care!

A A#

Cause now I wouldn't lie or tell you all the things you want to hear.

B A E

Cause I hate you! x4

Pre-verse

Verse 2:

I heard your stick, sucked on that cancer stick

A throbbing tumor and a radiation high

Sh*t out of luck, and now your time is up

It brings me pleasure just to know you're gonna die

Chorus

Interlude: (play intro part over these lyrics)

Dick-head, f*ck-fuce, cock-smoking, mother-f*cking,

Asshole, dirty twat, waste of semen, I hope you die....

Bridge: A A# B

Verse 3:

Red eye, code blue, I'd like to strangle you

And watch your eyes bulge right out of your skull

When you go down, head first into the ground

I'll stand above you just to piss on your grave

Chorus

Outro: just play the pre-verse once
