Brain Damage

[Intro] [Doctor] Scalpel [Nurse] Here [Doctor] Sponge [Nurse] Here [Doctor] Wait...he's convulsing, he's convulsing [Nurse] Ah [Doctor] We're gonna have to shock him [Nurse] Oh my! Oh my God [Doctor] We're gonna have to shock him [Nurse] Oh my God [Verse 1] These are the results of a thousand electric volts A neck with bolts (Nurse we're losing him, check the pulse) A kid who refused to respect adults Wore spectacles with taped frames and a freckled nose A corny looking White boy Scrawny and always ornery Cause I was always sick of brawny bullies picking on me And I might snap, one day just like that I decided to strike back and flatten every tire on the bike rack My first day in junior high this kid said It's you and I, three o'clock sharp this afternoon you die I looked at my watch it was 1:20 I already gave you my lunch money What more do you want from me He said, don't try to run from me, you'll just make it worse My palms were sweaty And I started to shake at first Something told me, try to fake a stomach ache, it works I screamed, oww, my appendix feels like they could burst Teacher, teacher, quick I need a naked nurse "What's the matter" I don't know, my leg, it hurts "Leg? I thought you said it was your tummy" Oh I mean it is, but I also got a bum knee "Mr. Mathers, the fun and games are over And just for that stunt, you're gonna get some extra homework" But don't you wanna give me after school detention "Nah, that bully wants to beat your ass and I'mma let him" [Hook] Brain damage Ever since the day I was born Drugs is what they used to say I was on They say I never knew which way I was going But everywhere I go they keep playing my song Brain damage Ever since the day I was born Drugs is what they used to say I was on They say I never knew which way I was going But everywhere I go they keep playing my song [Verse 2] Way before my baby daughter Hailie I was harassed daily by this fat kid named D'Angelo Bailey An eighth grader who acted obnoxious, cause his father boxes So every day he'd shove me in the lockers One day he came in the bathroom while I was pissing And had me in the position to beat me into submission He banged my head against the urinal till he broke my nose Soaked my clothes in blood Grabbed me and choked my throat I tried to plead and tell him We shouldn't beef But he just wouldn't leave He kept choking me and I couldn't breathe He looked at me and said, "you gonna die, honky" The principal walked in, and started helping him stomp me I made them think they beat me to death Holding my breath for like five minutes before they finally left Then I got up and ran to the janitor's storage booth Kicked the door hinge loose and ripped out the four inch screws Grabbed some sharp objects, brooms and foreign tools This is for every time you took my orange juice Or stole my seat in the lunchroom and drank my chocolate milk Every time you tipped my tray and it dropped and spilt I'm gettin you back, bully, now once and for good I cocked the broomstick back and swung hard as I could And beat him over the head with it til I broke the wood Knocked him down Stood on his chest with one foot Made it home, later that same day Started reading a comic and suddenly everything became gray I couldn't even see what I was trying to read I went deaf and my left ear started to bleed My mother started screaming, "what are you on, drugs" Look at you, you're getting blood all over my rug (sorry) She beat me over the head with the remote control Opened a hole and my whole brain fell out of my skull I picked it up and screamed Look bitch, what have you done Oh my God, I'm sorry son Shut up you cunt I said fuck it Took it and stuck it back up in my head Then I sewed it shut and put a couple of screws in my neck [Hook] Brain damage Ever since the day I was born Drugs is what they used to say I was on They say I never knew which way I was going But everywhere I go they keep playing my song Brain damage Ever since the day I was born Drugs is what they used to say I was on They say I never knew which way I was going But everywhere I go they keep playing my song
