Anger inside builds within my body
Why you hate me? What have I done?
You tried to hit me!

Scream at me again, if you like?
Throw your hate at me, with all your might
Hit me 'cause I'm strange, hit me
Tell me I'm a pussy and you're harder than me

What's with you boy? Think hard
A tattooed body to hide who you are
Scared to be honest, be yourself
A cowardly man

I don't run around trying to be what's not within me
Look into my eyes, I am free
You're just a wanna be

Scream at me again, if you like
Throw your hate at me, with all your might
Hit me 'cause I'm strange, hit me
Tell me I'm a pussy and you're harder than me

What's with you boy? Think hard
A tattooed body to hide who you are
Scared to be honest, be yourself
A cowardly man
To come out

Hit me clown because I'm not from your town now, hit me clown
Hit me clown because I'm not from your town now, hit me clown
Hit me clown because I'm not from your town now, hit me clown
Hit me clown because I'm not from your town now, hit me clown

Clown you ain't shit! Turn around! Get your face split!
Clown you ain't shit! Turn around! Get your face split!
Clown you ain't shit! Turn around! Get your face split!
Clown you ain't shit! Turn around! Get your face split!

Turn if you like
Throw your hate at me, with all your might
Hit me 'cause I'm strange, hit me
Tell me I'm a pussy and you're harder than me

What's with you boy? Think hard
A tattooed body to hide who you are
Scared to be honest, be yourself
A cowardly man

I'm just too fucking little!
I'm just too fucking little!
I'm just too fucking little!
I'm just a fucking mental!
I'm just a fucking mental!
I'm just a fucking mental!
I'm just a fucking mental!
