Snider Todd - Is This Thing On? lyrics

Is this thing working? Is this thing on? Is this thing working? Is this thing on? Is this thing working? Is this thing on? In the hallway of a high school Anywhere USA There was a bully pickin' on a different kid It seemed like every day A pack of back slapping buddies Laughing, backing him all the way His screaming girlfriend Makin' believe in everything he'd say Is this thing working? Is this thing on? Is this thing working? Is this thing on? And then one day some kid That he'd beat up a couple times before Realized, to even his surprise That he probably could indeed take more And with that he hatched the evil plan To make that devil pay He walked up to him, in the middle of the gym Found the nerve to say You gonna hit somebody, today? Gonna hit me, too In fact, you're gonna hit me every day 'Cause now I'm picking on you And as crazy as that might sound right now I'm ain't stopping until I'm through It's too late to beg for mercy And now there's nothing you can do Is this thing working? Is this thing on? Is this thing working? Is this thing on? Well, that bully just laughed and laughed Of course, and so did all of his friends And he beat that kid unmercifully For days and days on end Only less and less impressively To that girl and all his friends Who would eventually, secretly Start hoping, the kid might win Is this thing working? Is this thing on? Is this thing working? Is this thing on? Monday, they rolled around in dirt Tuesday, they rolled in gra** Wednesday, they actually both got hurt Throwing each other across Thursday the mail, it was out by the dumpster Friday study hard A day in and out, year after year Without ever letting up at all Is this thing working? Is this thing on? Is this thing working? Is this thing on? And now you'll never hear him say this 'cause He thinks people still don't know But winning the battle every day Cost our bully the war a long time ago And of all the scars he's got to show For every blow that kid sneaks in The worst one's knowing That tomorrow he's going to have to get up And fight that kid again
