Lyrics for Tryin' To Grow A Chin

Hey! I'm only fourteen Sickly 'n' thin Tried all of my life Just to grow me a chin It popped out once But my dad pushed it in Why did he hurt me? He's my next of kin... He's a mex-i-kin I'm lonely 'n' green Too small for my shirt If Simmons was here I could feature my hurt Scared of the future Hope I don't grow I know nobody likes me 'Cause everywhere I go They say NO They say NO They say NO Now I'm older Got a place in the town, babe Got a chin on my shoulder 'N' it keeps growing down 'n' down 'n' down I'm horny 'n' lonely 'N' I wish I was dead Why am I livin'? I wanna be dead instead That's right, I said I wanna be dead instead Now dig this: I wanna be dead In bed Please kill me 'Cause that would thrill me I wanna be dead In bed Please kill me 'Cause that would thrill me I wanna be dead In bed Please kill me 'Cause that would thrill me I wanna be dead In bed Please kill me 'Cause that would thrill me I wanna be dead In bed Please kill me 'Cause that would thrill me I wanna be dead In bed Please kill me 'Cause that would thrill me
