1. I'm a missing link, poolroom stink, I can't talk (Well that's too bad)
2. Gotta fight, nothing's right, livin' nowhere (That's so sad)
3. Get off my back or I'll attack, 'cause I don't owe you nothin' (OK)

1. go to school, the teacher's a fool, the preacher's a jerk (That's such a drag)
2. keep your mouth shut, or you'll get cut... I like to scare (Bet you're so mad)
