	Hey!
Verse 1:
	CGars and girls are easy to come by in this day and age
	Laughing, joking, drinking, smoking, 'til I've spent my wage
	When I was young, people spoke of immorality
	All the things they said were wrong are what I long to be
Chorus:
	(Hey!) OGver, under, sideways down
	(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square and round
	(Hey!) Over, under, sideways down
	(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square and round
	WCmhen will it Gmend
	            (when will it end)
	WCmhen will it Gmend
	            (when will it end)
[repeat intro]
Verse 2:
	I find comments about my looks irrelativity[?]
	Think I'll go and have some fun 'cause it's all for free
	I'm done searching for a reason to enjoy myself
	Seems it's better done than argued with somebody else
[repeat chorus]
[repeat intro]
Coda [repeat to fade]:
	(Hey!) OGver, under, sideways down
	(Hey!) Backwards, forwards, square and round
