Tool - Jerk-Off lyrics

rate me

* Used to be a bunch of assholes that lived in this part of the building, here...But we systematically removed them like you would any kind of termite or roach * **spoken prelude**

Someone told me once

that there's a right and wrong

punishment was cure

to those who dare to cross the line.

But it must not be true

for jerk-offs just like you.

Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.

but I'm tired of waiting.

Someone told me once

that there's a right and wrong,

punishment was cure

for those who dare to cross the line.

But it must not be true

for jerk-offs just like you.

and maybe it's just bullshit

I should play god

and shoot you myself.

tired of waiting.

Consequences dictate

course of action

and it doesn't matter what's right

It's only wrong if you get caught.

If consequences dictate

my course of action i should

I should play god

and just shoot you myself.

tired of waiting.

(die now)? **confirmed, but is whispered in background.**

shoot it

kick it

fuck it

shoot you in your fucking head.
