Hey you! Are you looking at me?

Don’t waste your time

‘Cos I know your crime and I know that pose

And the lines around your eyes don’t show

When your face is in repose

The skin is tightening as you touch a nerve

Did you get what you paid for

Or did you only get what you deserve?


Go home, go home, go home, go home

And don’t come out again until we tell you to

Until we say you can

Go home, go home, go home, go home

And don’t come out again ‘til we analyze you

We despise you

But we can’t help you now


The sins visit on your face

As you think about that cul-de-sac and the wit you lack

And the slanders you repeat when I don’t fall at your feet

Too old to be so frightened

And too scared to tell the truth

You lie in teenage anguish

Which you can no longer blame upon your youth


Go home, go home, go home, go home

And don’t come out again until we tell you to

Until we say you can

Go home, go home, go home, go home

And don’t come out again as we analyze you

We despise you

But we can’t help you now


We despise you

We despise you

We despise you

We despise you
