"When we do the same things over, ... things always end the same!"
SPIT BALL
D (dadgbd)
Intro: D
Fred throws a spit ball, hits Dustin on the head D
Dustin picks it up, throws it back at Fred D
But Dustin misses Fred, the teacher doesn't see D
So Dustin chews more paper, makes it gooey as can be D
He wads it on his finger, flicks it cross the aisle G-D
Hits Fred between the eyes, but Fred, he doesn't smile G-A-A7
He scrapes away the goo, ... wipes his forehead dry D
Throws his pencil back at Dustin, hits him in the eye! D
Cho1: Small as a spit ball, that's how it always starts G-D
Back and forth it grows, ‘til the world gets blown apart Asus4-A-D
And everyone blames someone else, but no one takes the blame G-Bm
When we do the same things over, things always end the same A, Em-A-D
Darlene doesn’t want to, ... be friends with Felice
Cause Felice, drew pictures of Darlene with pointy teeth!
She gave 'em to Darlene’s friends, just to make 'em laugh
So Darlene said, "Felice, you're an ugly dumb giraffe!"
Felice got angry, wiped jam in Darlene’s hair
Darlene wiped it off, said "Well, I don’t care!"
But she kicked Felice's leg, ... knocked her on the ground
They yelled and hit and wrestled, round & round & round!
Cho2: Small as a spit ball, that's how it always starts
Back and forth it grows, ‘til the world gets blown apart
And everyone blames someone else, but no one takes the blame
When we do the same things over, things always end the same,
Now kids don’t use spit balls, they use mean words instead
They spit 'em from computers, ... 'til some other kids are dead!
It's really messed up, and I know revenge is wrong, but,
If I do something back, then we’ll never get along
Someone has to stop, ... I guess I’ll try it first
Going first is scary, and you know, there’s nothing worse!
So, though it feels awful, ... when someone else attacks,
If you throw a spitball at me, I will not spit back!
Cho3: It stops with me, 'cause when no one takes the blame G-Bm
We all do the same things over, and over, and over, ... A
And things always end the same. Em-A, D
Someone's got to stop! ... or things always end the same! G || Em-A-D
