High School Dance

(album: Pay Attention - 2000)

Hello, world. Remember me?
I'm the sad little fuck that you failed to see
Who you should have recognized when you had the chance
Hello, motherfuckers. Now it's time to dance

Hello, mom and dad. Is this a bad time?
If it is too bad
See the reason that I'm disturbing you both
I'm settling scores
You fucked me up bad
This dance is yours
I love to make 'em dance (dance, dance, dance)
Everybody dance now

Hello, student body. Hello, faculty
Show of hands how many of you here have met me?
Not too many. Who am I?
I'll try not to keep you guessing
I'm your fucked-up dance instructor
And you're here for your lesson so dance (dance, dance, dance)
I love to watch 'em dance now (dance, dance, dance)

Hello, world. Take a look at me
Well, you didn't when you should have so I'm sure you agree
Not paying attention has cost you greatly
Some other little fucks have been dancing lately

I love to make 'em dance (dance, dance, dance)
Everybody dance now

Good-bye, student body. So long, faculty
Show of hands how many of you here have met me?
Not too many. Who am I?
I'll try not to keep you guessing
I'm your fucked-up dance instructor
Hope you've learned your lesson so dance (dance, dance, dance)
I love making them dance now (dance, dance, dance)
