Lyrics
You, you irritate me Like a tick on a dog's dick gnawing at my veins I can't stand your face You're an ugly motherfucker that's taking up too much space You're a waste (waste), waste of flesh to me And no one really wants you You're a waste (waste), waste of space to me So rot in hell You, you irritate me Like a tick on a dog's dick gnawing at its veins I can't stand your face You're an ugly motherfucker that's taking way too much space You're a waste (waste), waste of flesh to me And no one really wants you You're a waste (waste), waste of space to me So rot in hell You're a waste (waste), waste of flesh to me And no one really wants you You're a waste (waste), waste of space to me So rot in hell
