Lyrics:
Load up on guns, bring your friends
It's fun to lose, and to pretend
She's over bored, and self assured
Oh, no, I know a dirty word
chorus:
hello, hello, hello, how long?. . .hello, hello, hello, how long?
hello, hello, hello, how long?. . .hello, hello, hello, how long?
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
I feel stupid and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us.
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido, Yea!
I'm worse at what I do best,
and for this gift I feel blessed.
I met a group that's always been
And always will until the end.
chorus, solo
And I forget, just what the taste
And yes I guess it makes me smile
I found it hard. . .Its hard to find
Oh well, whatever, nevermind
