The Bully

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Robert Jr.] Shane, I'm waiting For you inside the bathroom stall Anticipating Your footsteps coming down the hall [Chorus 1] As I stay still Something makes me ill My eyes grow wide until They fill with tears [Verse 2] Visions haunt me Just as they did when I was young My poor father Was given Robert as a son [Chorus 2] Robert being me Shamed the family Slow as slow could be While his father had a PhD [Verse 3] Please have mercy I'm doing everything I can Robert Senior politely Asked his son to stand [Bridge: Robert Sr.] Do you wanna know why Your mother died? When you were born She couldn't bear to raise a boy like you She just couldn't hack it Her body attacked itself By the time the birth was through She was gone! Gone! [Verse 4: Robert Jr.] Shane, I waited To smash your head against the wall My self-hatred Makes me feel like no one at all [Chorus 3] I'll close my eyes Listen to your cries And try to feel my size But my father's voice will not subside [Outro] Ah Bah-ah Ah Bah-ah
