Oh Oh They chopped you up in butcher's school Threw you out of the academy of garbage You'll be a joker all your life A student at the comedy college People pleasing people pleasing people like you You've been around so long but you still don't know what to do (Chorus) Sparks are flying from electrical pylons Snakes and ladders running up and down her nylons Ready to experiment, you're ready to be burned If it wasn't for some accidents then some would never ever learn
