C B/Am
Frustrated fireworks inside your head

The method acting that pays my bills

Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
C B/Am
I got a heavy metal mouth it hurls obscenity

It don't matter cause I have no sex life

And all I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife

I've seen the movie

And I know what happens

It's Christmas time

A skinny Santa is bringing something to me

I'm going on a date

Gi'me one good reason not to do it
Because I love you
