Degenerate Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Crossed the street, naked at night
Bent over to show some moonlight

Pulled out some beer and I gulped it down
Nude in a gutter is how I was found
Thrown in the policecar and the door slammed
No noise, just silence, as I screamed, my dick was jammed
Now in prison for one month, no one to see
All I got is a guy Ben Dover


[Chorus]
Don't like hesh, don't like rap
Kicked old Sally 'cause she's fat
I'm a jerk, I'm a punk
Took a shower 'cause I stunk
Smoked a bong, killed a cat
Had my nuts attacked by rats
Dad got nude, I wore a thong
For a hobby I make bombs

[Verse 2]
Went to a farm to tip some cows
Forgot that I left my pants down
Bent over to pick them up
Felt a twelve gauge next to my hum-diddy-dum
The farmer took me to his house
Showed me the closet from the inside out

The police came, they took me away
Saw Ben Dover again and he's still gay
[Chorus]
Don't like hesh, don't like rap
Kicked old Sally 'cause she's fat
I'm a jerk, I'm a punk
Took a shower 'cause I stunk
Smoked a bong, killed a cat
Had my nuts attacked by rats
Dad got nude, I wore a thong
For a hobby I make bombs

Don't like hesh, don't like rap
Kicked old Sally 'cause she's fat
I'm a jerk, I'm a punk
Took a shower 'cause I stunk
Smoked a bong, killed a cat
Had my nuts attacked by rats
Dad got nude, I wore a thong
For a hobby I make bombs

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
