pay the price

aka the bully song




what's going to happen if you click here?

at 11:00 the notice was served
by 11:03 everyone had heard
the bully at school had challenged me to a fight...
he said, "MEET BEHIND THE GYM AT A HALF PAST THREE"
i said, "can't we settle this peacefully?"
he clenched his fists, said no, i said alright...

at lunch my friends all gathered around
said RUN! SCRAM! SHOO! FLEE! GET OUT OF TOWN!
i said thanks for your confidence and all your great advice...
they told me horror stories of the bully's fights
assorted gorey horror stories that kept me up for nights
they said all those who mess with him have to pay the price...

i tried to avoid him on the way to class
so i was late with no excuse, tardy with no pass
and when i turned to the door he was standing right outside...
from out of the blue he held up a sign
it said in red magic marker "AT THREE YOUR SOUL IS MINE!"
i bowed my head prayed to my God and cried...

at five minutes til i started counting down
five..four..three..two..one.. time for my beatdown
i left the room prepared to swallow my pride...
and take whatever he dished out for me
but something inside just wouldn't agree
it said, "buddy, you ain't goin' down WITHOUT A FIGHT!"

I THREW UP A RIGHT AND IT CAUGHT HIM IN THE CHEEK
WELL, HE TRIED TO YELL BUT HE COULDN'T SPEAK CAUSE
I BROKE HIS JAW AND KNOCKED OUT HIS TEETH AND
EVERYBODY TURNED AND THEY LOOKED AT ME
I SAID, "THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY FOR US TO WORK THINGS OUT!"
