"When we do the same things over, ... things always end the same!"
SPIT BALL
Fred throws a spit ball, hits Dustin on the head
Dustin picks it up, throws it back at Fred
But Dustin misses Fred, the teacher doesn't see
So Dustin chews more paper, makes it gooey as can be.
He wads it on his finger, flicks it cross the aisle
Hits Fred between the eyes, but Fred, he doesn't smile
He scrapes away the goo, ... wipes his forehead dry
Throws his pencil back at Dustin, hits him in the eye!
Cho: 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
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!
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,
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!
It stops with me, 'cause when no one takes the blame
We all do the same things over, and over, and over, ...
And things always end the same.
Someone's got to stop!
Or things always end the same!
