It’s 8 AM, this hell I’m in Seems I’ve crossed a line again For being nothing more than who I am So break my bones and throw your stones We all know that life ain’t fair But there’s more of us we’re everywhere We don’t have to take this back against the wall We don’t have to take this we can end it all All you’ll ever be is a fading memory of a bully Make another joke while they hang another rope so lonely Push them to the dirt till the words don’t hurt can you hear me No one’s gonna cry on the very day you die you’re a bully Think it through you can’t undo Whenever I see black and blue I feel the past, I share the bruise With everyone who’s come and gone My head is clear my voice is strong, now I’m right here to right the wrong We don’t have to take this back against the wall We don’t have to take this we can end it all All you’ll ever be is a fading memory of a bully Make another joke while they hang another rope so lonely Push them to the dirt till the words don’t hurt can you hear me No one’s gonna cry on the very day you die you’re a bully It’s 8 AM, the hell I’m in Your voice is strong, now right the wrong All you’ll ever be is a fading memory of a bully Make another joke while they hang another rope so lonely Push them to the dirt till the words don’t hurt can you hear me No one’s gonna cry on the very day you die you’re a bully All you’ll ever be is a fading memory of a bully Make another joke while they hang another rope so lonely Push them to the dirt till the words don’t hurt can you hear me No one’s gonna cry on the very day you die you’re a bully We don’t have to take this back against the wall We don’t have to take this we can end it all
