Jerk-Off Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Someone told me once that there's a right and wrong
Punishment would come to those who dared to cross the line
But it must not be true
For jerk-offs just like you, and
Maybe it takes longer
To catch a total asshole
But I'm tired of waiting

[Verse 2]
Someone told me once that there's a right and wrong
Punishment was sure for those who dared to cross the line
But it must not be true
For jerk-offs just like you, and
Maybe it's just bullshit
I should play God
And shoot you myself
Tired of waiting, oh

[Verse 3]
Consequences dictate
Our course of action and it
Doesn't matter what's right
It's only wrong if you get caught
If consequences dictate
My course of action, I should
I should play God and just
Shoot you myself
Tired of waiting
[Outro]
Shoot it
Kick it
Fuck it
Shoot you in your fucking head

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 [?]
