[Intro] Hey! Hey! Hey! [Verse 1] It’s 8 A.M This hell I’m in Seems I’ve crossed the line again For being nothing more than who I am So break my bones And throw your stones We all know that life ain’t fair But there is more of us We’re everywhere [Pre-Chorus] We don’t have to take this Back against the wall We don’t have to take this We can end it all [Chorus] All you’ll ever be Is a faded memory of a bully Make another joke While they hang another rope So lonely Push him to the dirt ‘Til the words don’t hurt Can you hear me? No one's gonna cry On the very day you die You’re a bully Hey! Hey! [Verse 2] Think it through You can’t undo Whenever I see black and blue I feel the past I share the bruise With everyone Who’s come and gone My head is clear My voice is strong Now I’m right here to right the wrong [Pre-Chorus] We don’t have to take this Back against the wall We don’t have to take this We can end it all [Chorus] All you’ll ever be Is a faded memory of a bully Make another joke While they hang another rope So lonely Push him to the dirt ‘Til the words don’t hurt Can you hear me? No one's gonna cry On the very day you die You’re a bully [Instrumental Solo] [Bridge] It’s 8 A.M.! The Hell I’m in! Your voice is strong! Now right the wrong! [Chorus] All you’ll ever be Is a faded memory of a bully Make another joke While they hang another rope So lonely Push him to the dirt ‘Til the words don’t hurt Can you hear me? No ones gonna cry On the very day you die You’re a bully All you’ll ever be Is a faded memory of a bully Make another joke While they hang another rope So lonely Push him to the dirt ‘Til the words don’t hurt Can you hear me? No ones gonna cry On the very day you die You’re a bully Hey!
