You suck!
Don’t tell me that is fact,
you know what I mean.
You suck!
And of all the days when I need
you to be on top form
and you to suck.
And what are you doing,
lying there in a cloud of dust,
with no suck.
You are like an iguana in the sun,
sitting, doing nothing, waiting.
You suck!
Well, if you are waiting for me,
I’m clueless
as to why you’ve no suck
and your manual has long gone.
It seems that I suck too.
Don’t tell me that is fact,
you know what I mean.
You suck!
And of all the days when I need
you to be on top form
and you to suck.
And what are you doing,
lying there in a cloud of dust,
with no suck.
You are like an iguana in the sun,
sitting, doing nothing, waiting.
You suck!
Well, if you are waiting for me,
I’m clueless
as to why you’ve no suck
and your manual has long gone.
It seems that I suck too.
