[Verse 1]
I talk to girls that sing about asphyxiation
Until their beer goes flat
I talk to girls that bring their switchblades to the function
And dye their buzzcuts black
[Pre-Chorus]
Shut your mouth and take your vitamins
Bite your nails and sell your Ritalin
I feel like the world is on my back
Shut your mouth and take your vitamins
Bite your nails and sell your Ritalin
I feel like the world is on its back
[Chorus]
I'm just a kid, I
Suffocate and slip, I
Hate that we're all sick
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm just a kid, I
Suffocate and slip, I
Hate that we're all sick (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
I'm blowing bubbles in the faces of thugs
I'm smoking licorice tobacco for lunch, yeah

I look inside my head with disgust
I would say it to my mates, but they're probably drunk
So I listen to funk, I bend to the punch
Then pretend that I'm fine when, really, I'm crushed
[Pre-Chorus]
Shut your mouth and take your vitamins
Bite your nails and sell your Ritalin
I feel like the world is on my back
Shut your mouth and take your vitamins
Bite your nails and sell your Ritalin
I feel like the world is on its back
[Chorus]
I'm just a kid, I
Suffocate and slip, I
Hate that we're all sick
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm just a kid, I
Suffocate and slip, I
Hate that we're all sick
[Outro]
Ya-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ya-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da
Ya-da-da, da-da, da-da-dum
Yeah
