It's official
Full judicial
Ends in physical
This I know

Best keep quiet
You don't listen to me anyway
You're gonna lose and it's gonna show
It's far to late to avoid it

Oh what's that sum
It added up to nothing cause you're much too dumb
Two-timing touch and broken bones x4
Bad decision

Repitition
Should you listen
Or let it go
Uh

Best say something
When your thinking that you'll get it back
But it's too late to avoid it so
It's far too late and I gotta know

Oh what's the sum
It added up to nothing cause you're much too dumb
Two-timing touch and broken bones x8
