 Intro:  
 ---------------------------------------- 
  ...is within my body . . . alright go 
   
    
     
      
      
           
  Ahh! Four! four I just said, you faggot piece of shit on the ground . 
  Four?   
  Four?!? 
   
        
         
          
          
           
  Goooo! 
  Oh, hey, what are you talking about Ross? 
  hey song goes  ...Erh!...Erh!...Erh!... 
  hey, are you saying so there's no clicks 
  hey, we're recording, now start 
  Just fucking do it damn it! 
   
            
            
             
  I wanna get a twist.  I wish we could put twist on a fucking tape . . .  
  Wanna hear it? 
  stupid  
             
              
  Fuck you!  Fuck you!   
              
               
  Huh Heuh! Goooo! 
  Okay . . . piece of shit! 
 --------------------------------------- 
 Anger inside, builds within my body 
 Why you hate me, what have I done-you tried to hit me 
  
 Dream to makin'(?), if you like 
 Throw your hate at me, with all your might 
 Hate me cause I'm strange, (hate me/and mean?) 
 Tell me I'm a pussy, an' you're harder than me 
 What's with you boy, think hard 
 A tatooed body to hide who you are 
 Scared to be honest, be yourself-a cowardly man 
  
 I don't run around trying to be what's not within me  
 Look into my eyes, I am free-you're just a wanna-be 
  
 Dream to makin'(?), if you like 
 Throw your hate at me, with all your might 
 Hate me cause I'm strange, (hate me/and mean?) 
 Tell me I'm a pussy, an' you're harder than me 
 What's with you boy, think hard 
 A tatooed body to hide who you are 
 Scared to be honest, be yourself-a cowardly man, to come out 
  
 Hit me clown because I'm not from your town, no, hit me clown(4x) 
  
 Clown you ain't shit, turn around, get your face split 
 Clown you ain't shit, turn around, can't you face me     (2x) 
  
 Time(?), if you like 
 Throw your hate at me, with all your might 
 Hate me cause I'm strange, (hate me/and mean?) 
 Tell me I'm a pussy, an' you're harder than me 
 What's with you boy, think hard 
 A tatooed body to hide who you are 
 Scared to be honest, be yourself-a cowardly man 
  
 Just a fucking little 
 Just a fucking mental 
 Just a fucking little(5x)

 This one was a bastard.  Transcribing the intro riffs were difficult, but  
 I think I got them down. Munky's pick scraping part is too hard to  
 transcribe exzactly because every guitar is different, and if I gave  
 location in inches or centimeters it would be different for everybody.   
 Lyrically, the chorus' first words may be wrong so I put what I thought  
 it would be. In the bridge "Hit me clown", he might be saying "Hate me  
 clown".  At the end of the bridge and at the end of the song, he switches  
 between lyrics.  Next up "Daddy"...
