Is this thing working? Is this thing on? In the hallway of a high school, anywhere USA There was a bully that would pick on a different kid, and it seemed like every day He had this pack of back slapping buddies, that would laugh and back him up all the way And this screaming girlfriend who would make believe in everything hed say Is this thing working? Is this thing on? Because then one day this kid, that hed beat up a couple time before Realized, to even his own surprise, that he probably could indeed take more And with that he hatched an evil plan to make that devil pay He walked up to him, in the middle of the gym, and he found the nerve to say you gonna hit somebody, today? You gonna hit me too. In fact, youre gonna hit me every day, because now Im picking on you And as crazy as it all might sound right now, Im not stopping until Im through
Its too late to beg for mercy Is this thing working? Is this thing on? Because that bully he just laughed and laughed, of course, and so did all of his friends And he beat that poor kid unmercifully, for days and days on end Only.slight less impressively each time, to that pretty girl, and all of his friends Who would eventually, secretly, start hoping for that kid to win So, it this thing working? Is this thing on? You know, youll never hear him say this now, because he thinks we still dont know But winning this battle every day cost our bully the war a long time ago And of all the scars hes got to show, for every blow that kid sneaks in The worst one is probably knowing that tomorrow hes going to have to get up And fight that kid again Is this thing working? Is this thing on?
