[Chorus] Well, let it drop Let it all drop Let it all drop Oh, let it all fall off
[Verse 4] My ears were pressed so firmly Right against your mouth to hear When you tried to spit the venom out Your words were not so clear Now drop
[Bridge 1] Hold on to what you need We've got a knack for fucked up history Hold on to what you need We've got a knack for messed up history
[Bridge 2] Well, we went downtown And we sat in the rain, both Lookin' one direction And waitin' for a train Of thought over Thought over I don't who kept track I didn't know there was a score But it looks like you're the winner And I ain't gonna play no more It's over Game over
[Verse 5] You were spittin' venom At most everyone you know If the damned gave you a road map Then you'd know just where to go So we carried all the groceries in While haulin' out the trash And if this doesn't make us motionless I do not know what can So's to say, oh, what a rotten thing to say Such an awful thing to say I didn't mean to bite you, sorry What always did, what "always" did What always had to slang
[Chorus] So let it drop Let it all drop Let it all drop Oh, let it all fall off Let it drop Let it all drop Let it all drop Oh, let it all fall off
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Outro] Cheer up, baby It really wasn't always quite so bad For every bit of venom that came out The antidote was had, well Cheer up, baby It wasn't always quite so bad For every bit of venom that came out The antidote was had Cheer up, baby It wasn't really always quite so bad For every bit of venom that came out The antidote was had, well Cheer up, baby It wasn't always quite so bad For every bit of venom that came out The antidote was had, well Cheer up, baby It wasn't really always quite so bad For every bit of venom that came out The antidote was had, well Cheer up, baby It wasn't really always quite so bad For every bit of venom that came out The antidote was had, well Cheer up, baby It wasn't always quite so bad For every bit of venom that came out The antidote was had Cheer up
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Outro] Cheer up, baby It wasn't really always quite so bad For every bit of venom that came out The antidote was had, well Cheer up, baby It wasn't really always quite so bad For every bit of venom that came out The antidote was had, well Cheer up, baby It wasn't really always quite so bad For every bit of venom that came out The antidote was had Cheer up, baby It wasn't really always quite so bad For every bit of venom that came out The antidote was had, well Cheer up, baby It wasn't really always quite so bad (The antidote was had) For every bit of venom that came out The antidote was had Cheer up, baby It really wasn't always quite so bad For every bit of venom that came out The antidote was had
