===Sing My Blues Away (ver. 13)===
I went to the doctor, counselor, and proctor
<poem>I went to the doctor, counselor, and proctor
All they did was waste my time
All they did was waste my time
I'm a chronic case of partial mental break
I'm a chronic case of partial mental break
Line 30: Line 56:
All I need is my music
All I need is my music
To help me make it through the day
To help me make it through the day
Cast to hell all the psychobabble therapy
Blast to hell all the psychobabble therapy
I can sing my blues away
I can sing my blues away


Line 36: Line 62:
Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away


All these ???
All these Merck and Pfizers scheming for my dinars
Scheming for my ???
Try to make me think I'm sick
Try to make me think I'm sick
Just because I crank my buds up really loud  
Just because I crank my buds up really loud
Don't mean that I'm a psychotic  
Don't mean that I'm a psychotic  
Take your drugs and knock yourself out
Take your drugs and knock yourself out
Line 66: Line 91:
I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues now)
I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues now)
Sing your blues now
Sing your blues now

<poem>Everybody got their superpower hiding
<poem>
Deep within their beating heart
Everybody got their super power hiding deep within their beating heart
If there only was a damsel in distress
If there only was a damsel in distress I’d kiss her on a shooting star
I'd kiss her on a shooting star
The years are flying by without me
Sleeping on the job
 
Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Just like yesterday
I can sing my blues away
 
I’m as strong as Paul Bunyan I want to have some fun, I wanna kick some ass
Watch me walking through these hallways after school
I don’t even need a hall pass
Terrible fates might await me, I don’t even care
 
Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Just like yesterday
I can sing my blues away
 
Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Just like yesterday
I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues now)
I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues now)
I can sing my blues away (Sing your blues now)
Sing your blues now

If there only was a damsel in distress I'd kiss her on a shooting star
The years are flying by without me

Sleeping on the job

No more tripping through the nighttime
No more tripping through the nighttime
Dilly dallying all the day
Dilly-dallying all the day
Can you tell me how to make the secret rendezvous?
Can you tell me how to make the secret rendezvous?
So I can sing my blues away
So I can sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away
Sing my blues away


I'm as strong as Paul Bunyan I want to have some fun, I want to kick some ass

Watch me walking through these hallways after school
