A difficult phase, lust-crazed Getting sick of the sin I commit, like a hypocrite And the aching and the no direction So what if I want to be a virgin and not do pills Or felonies, I don't want to go to jail And get my butt-raped by an ape, by mistake On our first date and catch aids Everything I do, sucks me into you Who made you the judge? Of everything I do...do... I'm getting scared about people on TV Don't wanna live and die, for the treasure that they seek I want to wreck my town and live up in the trees I... Everything I do, sucks me into you Who made you the judge? Of everything I do...
